8 INTRODUCING THE BASELINE SWITCH SFP Ports The four SFP ports support fiber Gigabit Ethernet short-wave (SX) and long-wave (LX) SFP transceivers in any combination. This offers you the flexibility of using SFP transceivers to provide connectivity between the Switch and a 1000 Mbps core network. When an SFP port is in operation, the corresponding 10/100/1000BASE-T port is disabled. Physical Features Figure 1 shows the front and rear panels of the Switch. The numbers in this diagram refer to numbered sections in "Front Panel" on page 8 and "Rear Panel" on page 11. Figure 1 Front and Rear Panels Front Panel The front panel of the Switch contains a series of indicator lights (LEDs) that help describe the state of various networking and connection operations.
