ExtremeSwitching Switches with Shared Copper/Fiber Gigabit Ports Only

On ExtremeSwitching switches with shared copper/fiber gigabit ports, you configure automatic failover using the combination ports. These ports are called combination ports because either the fiber port or the copper port is active, but they are never active concurrently. These ports, also called redundant ports, are shared PHY copper and fiber ports.

If you plan to use the automatic failover feature, ensure that port settings are set correctly for autonegotiation.

Note

You may experience a brief episode of the link going down and recovering during the failover.
