All A3100 v2 switches offer combo interfaces. Each combo interface has one 100/1000Base-X fiber SFP

and port view and cannot work simultaneously. When you activate one port (by using the combo enable
{ copper | fiber } command, the other port automatically shuts down. For the number of combo interfaces
