Performance
The SANbox 5000 Series switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel
service at transmission rates of 1-, 2-, 4-, or 10-Gbps with a maximum frame size
of 2148 bytes. A 1/2/4-Gbps port adapts its transmission speed to match that of
the device to which it is connected prior to login when the connected device
powers up. 10-Gbps ports transmit at 10-Gbps. Related performance
