The following support guidelines apply to the supported Ethernet port types described in the preceding table:
10/100/1000 Base-T copper SFPs can be used in any of the SFP ports.
Copper SFPs with speeds of 10 Mb/s and full-duplex are supported on the 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-R6, 7210 SAS-R12, 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE, and 7210 SAS-T. Copper SFPs with speeds of 10 Mb/s and half-duplex mode are supported only on the 7210 SAS-T.
Fixed copper ports on the 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE 24-port and 48-port copper variants, including PoE variants, support speeds of 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s with full-duplex mode. They do not support half-duplex mode.
Combination ports on the 7210 SAS-Mxp and 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE support speeds of 10 Mb/s with full-duplex mode when the copper port is used.
Fixed copper ports on the 16 x 10/100/1000 Base-T (RJ.5) IMMv2 card on the 7210 SAS-R6 and 7210 SAS-R12 support speeds of 10 Mb/s with full-duplex mode. They do not support speeds of 10 Mb/s with half-duplex mode.
Fixed copper ports on the 7210 SAS-T support speeds of 10 Mb/s with full-duplex and half duplex modes.
On the 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE, and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE, the user can select the fiber interface slot or the copper interfaces slot of the combination port using the config>port>ethernet>connection-type command. By default, the combination port connection-type is set to auto. The auto option allows the software to automatically detect the connection type based on the link availability of the media inserted into the port and set the operational value to either ‟copper” or ‟fiber”.
The 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE (48-port fiber) supports the use of copper SFP in the SFP slot for combo ports.
Nokia recommends that the user should not plug in the connector for the copper connection while using the SFP port (the opposite also applies). That is, at any point in time, only a single connector must be used.
The SFP+ ports on the 7210 SAS-Sx/S 1/10GE and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE allow the use of 1 GE fiber-optic SFPs or copper SFPs in SFP+ interface slots. Before using the 1 GE SFP, you must configure a speed of 1000 Mb/s on the SFP+ ports using the config port ethernet speed command. Only a speed of 1 Gb/s is supported for copper SFPs; that is, 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s speeds are not supported.
