3560 SFP ports 2

[scotttom]

Hi,

I've got a Cisco 3560 switch (Device Type WS-C3560-48PS) and I've got a question about the SFP ports.

Can they be used as a straight gigabit port for connecting servers? If yes, do any standard ports become disabled?

Also, it seems that there are a number of variations of adapters out there. Can someone tell me what adapter I should get?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, you can use them for just normal access level ports.

Depending on what type of connection you have to your sever will be what type of SFP you will need to purchase. Are they going to be straight cat6 ethernet or a type of fiber?

Thanks for the reply DallasBPF.

I'm going to be using straight cat6.

I appreciate the help.

Then you need a GLC-T
