6506/with Sup720 small question about the sup720

On the sup720 there are 2 fiber ports and one other port that looks like a fast Ethernet port. However, to use this FastE do I configure this port as a vlan?

What is the significance of this interface?

Hi Sandra,

the sup270 has two Gigabit Ethernet ports, one Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) and one selectable SFP or 10/100/100 RJ-45, so only two of the three ports can be active at any one point in time.

You can configure this as documented below

Hi Bobby,

right now I'm using both gigabit ethernet ports.

one primary and the other a backup for that fiber link. If i understand you correctly, since I'm using both ports I can't use the third, which I needed for another connection.

Hi Sandra,

That's correct, you can't use the third port if you're already using two.

regards,

Bobby
