In the default configuration of the 10G4Ca I/O module, all ports:
● Are added to the default VLAN as untagged
● Inherit the properties of the default VLAN (for example, protocol type and VLANid)
The 10G4Ca I/O module has the following LEDs:
● Module status
● Module diagnostics
● Port status
For information about the LEDs and their activity on the 10G4Ca I/O module, see “I/O Module LEDs”
