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.
