1000 Mbps SFP Connectors
The OS6800-U24 provides 20 non combo SFP con-
nectors for 1000Base-X SFP transceivers (1–20) and 4
combo SFP connectors for 1000Base-X SFP trans-
ceivers (21–24).
Console Port
The OS6800-U24 front panel provides
one RJ-45 port for console connections.
Console connections are used by network
administrators for switch management.
This female RJ-45 connector provides a
DTE console connection.
System Status LEDs
For detailed information on OS6800-U24
system status and other LEDs, refer to page
2-13.
Combo RJ-45 10/100/1000 Ports
The OS6800-U24 provides four combo 10/100/1000BaseT ports. These
ports are auto-sensing and auto-MDIX and use RJ-45 connectors.
By default, when an SFP is installed in a combo port, it takes over the port
number of the corresponding RJ-45 Ethernet port. In other words, if an SFP
is installed in the slot labeled 24, Ethernet port 24 is no longer available and
cannot be used for 10/100/1000 Mbps traffic. This default setting is referred
to as “preferred fiber.” Refer to “Configuring Ethernet Ports” in the
Network Configuration Guide for detailed information, including steps for
configuring combo port settings.
