Gigabit Ethernet
In addition to the four built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports, the SSG 500M Series devices
also supports the field-replaceable Gigabit Ethernet PIM, which provides a physical
connection to Gigabit Ethernet network media types. The field-replaceable Gigabit
Ethernet PIM is available in two versions, copper and optical, and each version has
one port.
You can manually configure the copper Gigabit Ethernet PIM (shown in Figure 6) to
link speeds of 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps, and you can configure the mode to
half-duplex or full-duplex. The optical Gigabit Ethernet PIM cannot be manually
configured; it is set at 1000 Mbps and full duplex.
Figure 6: Copper Gigabit Ethernet PIM
The optical Gigabit Ethernet PIM (shown in Figure 7) uses small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) transceivers that allow different interfaces to be used on the PIM.
The optical Gigabit Ethernet PIM supports 1000Base-LX and 1000Base-SX SFPs
only. Connect the module with a single-mode or multimode optical cable.
