Maximum configurable distances for Extended Fabrics
Table 80 shows the maximum supported extended distances (in kilometers) that can be configured
for one port on a specific switch or blade at different speeds.
NOTE
The 10 Gbps FC10-6 blade has two port groups of three ports each. For extended ISLs, all buffers
available to a group are used to support one port at up to 100 km.
NOTE
QoS requires an additional 20 buffer credits per active port so maximum supported distances may
be lower.
