22.1.1 Port Types and Supported Functions

<Structure of this section>

(1) Port Type

The following table lists the port types and the Ethernet standards supported for each port.

Table 22-1: Port types and supported Ethernet standards

Port type

Ethernet standard

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T

10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T

SFP

1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-X

SFP+/SFP shared

1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-X, 10GBASE-R

(a) 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T

Use a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T twisted-pair cable (UTP).

(b) SFP

It supports SFP of 1000BASE-SX,1000BASE-LX,1000BASE-LH, and 1000BASE-BX.

When connecting with 1000BASE-T, use SFP-T.

(c) SFP+/SFP shared

When connecting with 1000BASE-T, use SFP-T.

When connecting by 1000BASE-X, SFP of 1000BASE-SX,1000BASE-LX,1000BASE-LH, and 1000BASE-BX is supported.

When connecting via 10GBASE-R, 10GBASE-SR,10GBASE-LR,10GBASE-ER,10GBASE-BR's SFP + is supported. It also supports a direct attach cable.

The direct attach cable is a cable connected between SFP+/SFP shared ports and SFP + is connected to both ends. They function in the same way as 10GBASE-R. Refer to the "Hardware Instruction Manual" for the ports to which the direct attach cable can be connected.

(2) Connection Modes and Supported Functions

The following table describes the connection modes and support functions for each connection interface.
