A media selection system includes a plurality of media ports. Each of the plurality of media ports is coupled to a corresponding physical medium, is configured to generate an activity signal, and is configured to generate a link status signal. A priority storage module is configured to contain priority information, which sets forth a priority for establishing a link through each of the plurality of media ports. A media selector module is configured to select a first media port through which a link will be maintained based on the activity signal generated by each of the plurality of media ports. The media selector module is configured to link the signal generated by each of the plurality of media ports and the priority information. The media selector module is configured to block all other links through media ports of the plurality of media ports other than the first media port.
