An uplink port generally means a port used that connects toward the core of the network. In this particular usage, the switch's downlink ports are dual speed copper ports. RJ45 ports serve access-layer copper connections; SFP/SFP+ ports enable flexible 1G/10G uplinks; SFP28 delivers 25G for modern data centers; QSFP+ and QSFP28 support high-density 40G/100G spine–leaf. So, the uplink port connects the switch to other switches or “higher” layer routers. Switch normal ports, also known as. The SFP port is commonly found on Gigabit Ethernet switches and is primarily used for fiber optic device connections or for uplinking 1G switches to aggregation/core layer devices, providing higher-bandwidth links. Switch port type should be configured according to the requirement considering the factors like network architecture, speed and. Cisco switch ports are categorized by their physical hardware interfaces (such as RJ45 copper, fiber-optic SFP uplinks, and console ports), their bandwidth speed capacities (Gigabit, 10G, 100G), and their logical operating modes.
