Ethernet Port
Overview
A brief description of Switch 7700 I/O modules are listed below:
■ 48-port 10/100Base-T auto-sensing fast Ethernet card
■ 8-port 1000Base-X (Gigabit Interface Converter or GBIC) Gigabit Ethernet card
■ 8-port 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet card
■ 24-port 100Base-FX MMF fast Ethernet card
The Ethernet ports of the Switch 7700 have the following features:
■ 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, and can be
configured to operate in half/full duplex mode or auto-negotiation mode to
negotiate the duplex mode and speed with other network devices. This also
allows you to select the optimal mode automatically.
■ 100BaseFX MMF Ethernet ports operate in 100M full duplex mode. The duplex
mode can be configured as full (full duplex) or auto (auto-negotiation). The
speed can be set to 100 (100Mbps) or auto (auto-negotiation).
■ 1000BaseX Ethernet ports work in gigabit full duplex mode. The duplex mode
can be configured as full (full duplex) or auto (auto-negotiation). The speed can
be set to 1000 (1000Mbps) or auto (auto-negotiation).
■ 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, and the
modes are 1000 full duplex, 100M half/full duplex, and 10M half/full duplex.
