16 port 8 Gbps encryption blade

The SAN384B-2 uses the following port numbering for each of the blades that can
be installed in the chassis. See illustrations of the different blades in Appendix D,
“Port numbering,” on page 141. Refer to
Implementing an IBM/Brocade SAN with 8
Gbps Directors and Switches
, (an IBM Redbook), SG24-6116 for more details on port
numbering and other technical information.
Note:
This publication was written for earlier products, but many of the practices
still apply.
Note:
Blades are installed in a horizontal orientation in the SAN384B-2 chassis, so
the normal top of the blade is oriented to the left, and the normal bottom of
the blade is oriented to the right when the blades are installed in the chassis.
v
CR16-8 core blade - Inter-chassis link connectors are numbered from 0 through 7
from bottom to top on the left set of ports and 8 through 15 from bottom to top
on the right set of ports. Each connector is actually a group of four 16 Gbps
ports.
v
FC16-32 port blade - Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from right to left on
the lower row of ports and 16 through 31 from right to left on the upper row of
ports.
v
FC8-32E port blade - Ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from right to left on
the lower row of ports and 16 through 31 from right to left on the upper row of
ports.
v
FC16-48 port blade - Ports are numbered from 0 through 23 from right to left on
the lower row of ports and 24 through 47 from right to left on the upper row of
ports.
v
FC8-48E port blade - Ports are numbered from 0 through 23 from right to left on
the lower row of ports and 24 through 47 from right to left on the upper row of
ports.
v
FC8-64 port blade - Ports are numbered from 0 through 31 from right to left on
the lower row of ports and 32 through 63 from right to left on the upper row of
ports. See Figure 57 on page 143 for an illustration of the blade. Trunking groups
are permitted with up to eight ports per group. Trunking groups are as follows:
0-7, 8-15, 16-23, 24-31, 32-39, 40-47, 48-55, and 56-63.
v
FX8-24 FCIP extension blade - The port numbering scheme is fairly complex for
this blade, but is displayed for reference on the blade itself in a diagram towards
the right end of the blade (see Figure 59 on page 143). There are twenty-four
physical ports. Twelve FC ports are located towards the right end of the blade,
with ports 0 through 5 in the lower row, and ports 6 through 11 in the upper
row. Two 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE or XGE) ports are located in the lower row
of ports and are numbered 0 and 1, from right to left. Ten GbE ports are located
towards the left end of the blade, with eight clustered to the far left, and the
remaining two located above the two 10GbE ports. The GbE ports 0 through 3,
numbered from right to left are located in the lower row to the far left side of
the blade. Ports 4 and 5 are located above the two 10GbE ports, and ports 6
through 9 (numbered right to left) are in the top row above ports 0 through 3.
Up to three FC trunking groups. The three groups are defined as:
– Trunk group 0: FC ports 0, 1
– Trunk group 1: FC ports 6, 7
