What type of uplink ports does the Supervisor Engine 720 have?

The Supervisor Engine 720 is designed to provide high-speed uplink capabilities to enhance performance and scalability in networking environments. It features two 1000BASE-X SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports, which support the high throughput typically needed in enterprise-grade environments, along with one 10/100/1000BASE RJ-45 port.

The use of 1000BASE-X SFP ports allows for greater flexibility in terms of distance and media type, as SFP modules can be selected based on specific network requirements, such as fiber optic or copper connections. The RJ-45 port provides compatibility with standard Ethernet cabling, making it viable for easier connections in a variety of scenarios.

This combination allows the Supervisor Engine 720 to accommodate both fiber and copper connections while providing robust performance needed for modern data center and enterprise applications. This aligns with the requirements of high availability and scalability that network devices must meet.
