RJ-11 port (1) for fail-open control of two built-in SFP+ ports in slot G0. The RJ-11 ports support 1 Gbps (SFP)
fiber and 10 Gbps (SFP+) (SR and LR). You can convert these ports to copper ports by using the copper SFP
transceivers.

RJ-11 port (6) for external passive fail-open control of twelve SFP ports in slot G1. The RJ-11 ports support 1
Gbps (SFP) fiber (SR and LR). You can convert these ports to copper ports by using the copper SFP
transceivers. The fail-open ports are internally wired to control the SFP ports. For example, port X1 controls
monitoring ports G1/1 and G1/2; port X2 controls monitoring ports G1/3 and G1/4 and so on.
