v
Before the installation of the upgrade license, ports beyond the basic four FC
and two GbE are shown as
Dis abled with the
switchShow
command.
v
On the base SAN06B-R model, the two GbE ports (ge0 and ge1) can be
configured for use with either copper or optical cables (physically separate ports
provided).
v
FC frame compression is not the same as IP compression and is disabled by
default. It can be enabled using the
portCfg
command. For more information see
the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide .
v
FCIP tunnel bandwidth has a minimum rate of 1544 Kbps (T1 rate).
Configuration requests of lower rates will be rejected.
v FCIP Trunking is available which will “virtualize” two or more TCP connections
(circuits) as part of a single FCIP tunnel. Up to four circuits can be configured
for a single FCIP tunnel. See the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for details on
explicitly configuring circuits.
