SAN Router Layout
The SAN Router front panel ( Figure 1-2 on page 1-6) provides an
Ethernet LAN connector (10/100), small form-factor pluggable (SFP)
connectors port status LEDs, and a green system (SYS) LED. The
panel also provides a 9-pin DSUB maintenance port (CONSOLE) for
connection to a local terminal or remote terminal. The maintenance
port provides an alternate way to configure the SAN Router in
addition to the normal http scenario. Although this port is typically
used by authorized maintenance personnel, operations personnel can
use the port to configure SAN Router network addresses.
Sixteen user-configurable SFP connectors include:
• Ports 1-12, supporting Fibre Channel connections.
• Ports 13-16, supporting iFCP or iSCSI connections.
