router, switch, or hub). • After ascertaining this information, the switch automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink technology eliminates the need for setting uplink connections or being concerned about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when attaching devices. Figure 2-3. Warning! Creating Redundant Paths between Network Devices SFP module ports The last four ports (21(21F),22(22F),23(23F),24(24F)) on GSM7328S can be used for either copper UTP (RJ45) or SFP (fiber) type cabling. However, both port types cannot be used at the same time. The switch will detect the port in use automatically simply by the first connected interface. If both connectors are plugged the SFP interface will operate normally and copper interface will be disabled. The SFP module ports accommodate NETGEAR AGM731F (1000BASE-SX), AGM732F (1000BASE-LX), AGM733 (1000BASE-ZX) modules. or any standard SFP module which has an LC connector that is IEEE 802.3z compliant. 10 Gigabit Ethernet / 24 Gigabit Stacking I/O module bays The high speed I/O module bays can be utilized for either standards-based 10-Gigabit Ethernet or special 24-Gigabit Stacking connectivity. With the AX742 24-Gigabit Stacking module and special cabling you can connect up to 8 switches to form a stack with a single management IP address. Two of the I/O module slots can be used for stacking purposes while the remaining two I/O module bays can be used for 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. If the stacking functionality is not needed, all four I/O modules can be used for 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications by using the AX741 adapter and XFP modules. Page 11 of 24
