About the Switches Chapter 1
100/1000 SFP ports The SFP ports on some models provide full-duplex, 100- or 1000-Mbps connectivity.
ArmorStratix 5700 switches and Stratix 8000/8300 base switches do not have SFP ports.
PoE/PoE+ ports The PoE ports available on some switches and expansion modules can be configured for PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Type 2). You
can configure PoE /PoE+ ports in any combination of PoE and PoE+.
Stratix 5400 and ArmorStratix 5700 switches use one power connection for both basic power supply and PoE power supply.
Stratix 5700 switches and Stratix 8000/8300 expansion modules require a dedicated power supply for PoE.
Auto-MDIX When connecting the switch to workstations, servers, and routers, straight-through cables are typically used. However, the automatic
medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature of the switch is enabled by default and reconfigures the ports to use either a
straight-through or crossover cable type.
The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type
(straight-through or crossover) for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly.
You can use the Command-line interface (CLI) to disable the auto-MDIX feature. See the online help for more information.

Feature Description
Dual power supply modules Depending on the switch model, one AC or DC power supply module comes pre-installed in the switch. You can order an optional second power
supply of any voltage type to provide redundancy and additional power for PoE devices:
• One power supply provides 60 W for PoE/PoE+.
• Two power supplies provide 185 W for PoE/PoE+.
The power-input terminal on the cable-side of the switch provides connections for high-voltage AC, high-voltage DC, or low-voltage DC power
for the two power supplies. When dual power sources are operational, the switch draws power from the power source with the higher voltage.
If one of the two power sources fail, the other continues to power the switch.
Alarm relay connector The front panel alarm port uses an RJ45 connector. You can connect four alarm inputs and one alarm output for environmental, power supply,
and port status conditions. You can configure an alarm to indicate open or closed contacts.
Console port To configure, monitor, and manage a switch, you can connect a switch to a computer through the console port:
Connect to the console port with an RJ45-to-DB-9 adapter cable or a mini USB cable. The mini USB driver is available in the firmware download
section at

10/100/1000 Ethernet,
PoE/PoE+ ports
You can set the 10/100/1000 ports to operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps, full-duplex, or half-duplex. You can also set these ports for
speed and duplex autonegotiation in compliance with IEEE 802.3-2002. The default setting is autonegotiate.
When set for autonegotiation, the port senses the speed and duplex settings of the attached device. If the connected device also supports
autonegotiation, the switch port negotiates the connection with the fastest line speed that both devices support. The port also negotiates
full-duplex transmission if the attached device supports it. The port then configures itself accordingly. In all cases, the attached device must be
within 100 m (328 ft) of the switch.
The ports can also be configured for PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Type 2):
• You can configure the ports in any combination of PoE and PoE+.
• A second power supply is required to support PoE+.
• The ports deliver up to 15.4 W of PoE and 30 W of PoE+.
The ports can be designated as high or low priority PoE/PoE+ ports. When two power-supply modules are installed, the system has enough
power to support all ports as PoE/PoE+ ports. If one of the power-supply modules fails, the power to the low priority ports is dropped, while
power to the high priority ports remains uninterrupted. For more information, see pages
232, 239, and 242.
The ports use RJ45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is 100 m (328 ft).
100/1000 SFP ports 100/1000 SFP ports provide full-duplex, 100-Mbps or 1-Gbps connectivity.
1000 SFP ports 1000 SFP ports provide only 1-Gbps connectivity. These uplink ports are available on catalog numbers1783-IMS28GNDC, 1783-IMS28GNAC,
1783-IMS28GRDC, and 1783-IMS28GRAC.
1000/10 Gigabit SFP/SFP+ ports 1000/10 Gigabit SFP/SFP+ ports provide full-duplex, 1-Gbps or 10-Gbps connectivity. The port speed is 1 Gbps when a 1000BASE SFP module
is installed and 10 Gbps when an 10GBASE SFP+ module is installed.
Auto-MDIX When connecting the switch to workstations, servers, and routers, straight-through cables are typically used. However, the automatic
medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX) feature of the switch is enabled by default and reconfigures the ports to use either a
straight-through or crossover cable type.
The auto-MDIX feature is enabled by default. When the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, the switch detects the required cable type (straight-
through or crossover) for copper Ethernet connections and configures the interfaces accordingly.
You can use the Command-line interface (CLI) to disable the auto-MDIX feature. See the online help for more information.
