C9800-L-F Ports question

[Mohamed.Tawfeeq]

Hello everyone , we have gotten C9800-L-F controller , do we have to purchase the SFP modules for the fiber uplink ports or it's okay to use the 4x UTP 2.5G ports directly to the same switch connected to the APs , this is a demo s BW is not an issue here.

Looking fpr experts advise & thanks beforehand.

you can use the ethernet port instead of Fiber, both have same function its juts a matter of bandwidth.

you can also read this in datasheet
