supports automatic MDI/MDI-X detection and can be connected to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or a 1000BASE-T device. Ports 1 to 16 (2816-SFP) or ports 1 to 24 (2824-SFP) are auto-negotiating: their speed and duplex mode (half duplex or full duplex for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, full duplex only for 1000BASE-T) are automatically determined by the capabilities of the connected device. CAUTION: The Switch supports full duplex auto-negotiation. If auto-negotiation is disabled for 1000BASE-T, then the Switch uses the forced-mode default of 100 full duplex mode. If the connected device does not support auto-negotiation, the Switch will operate in half duplex mode (even if the attached device is operating in full duplex mode). In such a configuration, you may notice some degradation of network performance. 3Com recommends that you use devices that are capable of auto-negotiation (and that you ensure that auto-negotiation is enabled, if it is a configurable option). (2) SFP Ports The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports are numbered 13 to 16. If an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and is active, the associated RJ-45 port of the same number is disabled. 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 Physical Features 9 SFP transceivers to provide connectivity between the Switch and remote 1000 Mbps workgroups or to create a high-capacity aggregated link backbone connection. SFP ports are numbered 13 to 16 (2816-SFP) and 21 to 24 (2824-SFP) on the Switch. When an SFP port is active, it has priority over the 10/100/1000 port of the same number. The corresponding 10/100/1000 port is disabled when an SFP transceiver is plugged in. (3) Link/Activity Status LEDs The following table lists LEDs visible on the front of the Switch, and how to read their status according to color. Table 1 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports Status Meaning Green The link is operating at 1000 Mbps. Yellow The link is operating at 10 or 100 Mbps. Flashing Packets are being received or transmitted on the Green port at 1000 Mbps. Flashing Packets are being received or transmitted on the Yellow port at 10 or 100 Mbps.

Physical Features

supports automatic MDI/MDI-X detection and can be
connected to a 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or a
1000BASE-T device.
Ports 1 to 16 (2816-SFP) or ports 1 to 24 (2824-SFP) are
auto-negotiating: their speed and duplex mode (half
duplex or full duplex for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, full
duplex only for 1000BASE-T) are automatically
determined by the capabilities of the connected device.
CAUTION:
The Switch supports full duplex
auto-negotiation. If auto-negotiation is disabled for
1000BASE-T, then the Switch uses the forced-mode
default of 100 full duplex mode. If the connected device
does not support auto-negotiation, the Switch will
operate in half duplex mode (even if the attached device
is operating in full duplex mode). In such a
configuration, you may notice some degradation of
network performance. 3Com recommends that you use
devices that are capable of auto-negotiation (and that
you ensure that auto-negotiation is enabled, if it is a
configurable option).
(2) SFP Ports
The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports are
numbered 13 to 16. If an SFP transceiver (purchased
separately) is installed in a slot and is active, the
associated RJ-45 port of the same number is disabled.
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 remote 1000 Mbps workgroups or to create
a high-capacity aggregated link backbone connection.
SFP ports are numbered 13 to 16 (2816-SFP) and 21 to
24 (2824-SFP) on the Switch. When an SFP port is
active, it has priority over the 10/100/1000 port of the
same number. The corresponding 10/100/1000 port is
disabled when an SFP transceiver is plugged in.

The following table lists LEDs visible on the front of the
Switch, and how to read their status according to color.
