Enabling Auto-Detect
The Auto-Detect feature is enabled if media-type is not configured. This feature automatically detects
which media is connected and links up. If both media are connected, whichever media comes up first is
linked up.
Note The Auto-Detect feature only works with 1 GigE SFPs. This feature does not detect 100M SFPs.
Use the no media-type command in interface configuration mode to enable the Auto-Detect feature.
To configure the Auto-Detect feature, follow these steps, beginning in global configuration mode.
