Before installation of the upgrade license, any ports other than the basic four FC ports and
two GbE ports are shown as
Disabled
when you execute the

On the base 1606 Extension SAN Switch, you can configure the two GbE ports (ge0 and
ge1) for use with either copper or optical cables (physically separate ports are provided).
•
FC frame compression is not the same as IP compression and is disabled by default. To
enable FC frame compression use the
portCfg

Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide
.
•
FCIP tunnel bandwidth has a minimum rate of 1,544 Kb/s (the T1 rate). Configuration requests
with lower rates are rejected.
•
FCIP Trunking is available to virtualize two or more IP address pairs (circuits) as part of a
single FCIP tunnel. You can configure up to four circuits for a single FCIP tunnel. For more
information on configuring circuits, see the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide
.
•
Multiple FCIP tunnels can share the same GbE port. VE_Ports and VEx_Ports are not
associated with a single physical GbE port.
