Insert an appropriate cable into the module port.
Step 2
Note
If your switch has a dual-purpose port, see the
"Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port" section on
page 17 for additional considerations.
Insert the other cable end into the other device.
Step 3
For a list of supported modules, see the release notes on Cisco.com. For detailed instructions on installing, removing, and
connecting to SFP modules, see the corresponding documentation for the SFP module.
Caution
Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP modules more
often than is absolutely necessary.
Connecting to a Dual-Purpose Port
Either insert a connector in the 10/100/1000 port, or
Step 1
install an SFP module in the SFP module slot, and connect
a cable.
Only one port can be active at a time. If both ports are
connected, the SFP module port has priority. The priority
setting is not configurable.
Insert the other cable end into the other device.
Step 2
Verifying Port Connectivity
After you connect to the switch port, the port LED turns amber while the switch establishes a link. This process takes about
30 seconds, and then the LED turns green after the switch and the target device have an established link. If the LED is off, the
target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in
the target device. See the "In Case of Difficulty" section on page 18 for information about online assistance.
