Example Direct Connection, Fibre Channel Network
The following configuration shows a single Xgig Four Slot Chassis with four Xgig Multi-Function
Blades. In the example, three links are monitored via direct connection to the Fibre Channel ports.
The four blades can be used to set up eight Fibre Channel links for analysis and monitoring
purposes. The number of links to be monitored can be increased up to a maximum of 32 by
cascading 4 chassis together. The receive side for each analyzer port is always on the right.
To directly connect to Fibre Channel ports, each side of the link must be connected to the same
port-pair. Port-pairs are defined by adjacent ports (port 1 and port 2, or, port 3 and port 4) on the
same blade. In the example below, each link is connected to port 1 and to port 2 on an Xgig
Multi-Function Blade.
Figure 195: Xgig Direct Connection
Some examples of unusable connections follow.
•
You cannot connect one side of the link to blade 1, port 1 and connect the other side of the link
to blade 2, port 1.
•
You cannot connect one side of the link to blade 1, port 2 and connect the other side of the link
to blade 1, port 3.
