Combo Ports

The AT-GS950/8 and AT-GS950/48PS Switches have two combo ports,
and the AT-GS950/16PS Switch has four combo ports. Each combo port
consists of one 10/100/1000Base-T twisted pair port and one slot for an
optional 100Base-FX or 1000Base-SX/LX SFP transceiver. The twisted
pair ports are identified with the letter “R” for “Redundant” on the front
faceplates of the units. The ports and slots are listed in Table 2.

The combo ports have the guidelines listed here:

Only one port in a pair, either the twisted pair port or a
corresponding SFP module, can be active at a time.

The twisted pair port is the active port when its SFP slot is empty,
or when an SFP module is installed but has not established a link
to an end node.

The twisted pair port automatically changes to the redundant status
mode when an SFP module establishes a link with an end node.

A twisted pair port automatically transitions back to the active
status when the link is lost on the SFP module.

In nearly all cases, a twisted pair port and an SFP module share
the same configuration settings, including port settings, VLAN
assignments, access control lists, and spanning tree.

An exception to the shared settings is port speed. If you disable
Auto-Negotiation on a twisted pair port and set the speed and
duplex mode manually, the speed reverts to Auto-Negotiation
when an SFP module establishes a link with an end node.
