The 1000BaseX and 1000BaseT modules have the same default settings as the
10/100 and 100BaseFX modules, with the following exception:
port cost value
•
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) uses port path costs to determine which
port to select as a forwarding port. Ports attached to faster media (such as
1000BaseX) have lower numbers assigned to them by default, and ports
attached to slower media have higher numbers assigned. The default port cost
value for 1000BaseX and 1000BaseT ports is 4.
To remove a GBIC, do the following:
Disconnect the network fiber cable from the GBIC SC connector.
Release the GBIC from the slot by simultaneously squeezing the two plastic tabs
(one on each side of the GBIC).
Slide the GBIC out of the Gigabit Ethernet module slot. A flap drops down to
protect the Gigabit Ethernet module connector.
If the GBIC is defective, dispose of the product.
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to
all national laws and regulations.
