Port	Connector Type	Description	Available Components
1GE/10GE/25GE SFP28 optical port	SFP28	A 1GE/10GE/25GE SFP28 optical port sends and receives service data at 1 Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s, or 25 Gbit/s. When a 25GE optical module is connected to a port, the port can automatically adjust its rate to 25 Gbit/s. When a 10GE optical module is connected to a port, the port can automatically adjust its rate to 10 Gbit/s. Before installing a GE optical module or GE copper module on a port, run the port mode ge command to configure the port to work at 1 Gbit/s.
