Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
When I reboot the switch, the fibre connections do not return to a powered on state. I have to log onto the box and turn them back on. My question is, is there any way to ensure that the fibre modules remain on?<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance of your reply.

3com 4200G Fibre Modules turn off when Switch is powered down. Is there any way of making sure they always stay on?

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
