The RS123 incorporates a 4-port 10/100/1000 BaseT switch with automatic MDI/MDIX to connect to a local area net-

Note
The only connector available during booting and in BIOS mode is the ETH 1 connector.
3.6.2 WAN connection
The RS123 incorporates an Ethernet interface for WAN connection. This port has 2 connectors: SFP for optical link
and RJ45 for 10/100/1000 Base-T link. However, they cannot work simultaneously.
Note
The SFP connector is enabled by purchasing a license. This connector is disabled by default.
This interface is totally independent from the switch and is treated as just another interface.
