Configuring a combo interface

Introduction to Combo interfaces

A Combo interface is a logical interface that comprises one optical (fiber) port and one electrical (copper) port. The two ports share one forwarding interface, so they cannot work simultaneously. When you enable either port, the other port is automatically disabled.

The optical and electrical ports of a Combo interface share one interface view, in which you activate the optical or electrical port, and configure other port attributes, such as the interface rate and duplex mode.
