Performance
Auto-sensing of 4, 8, and 16 Gbps port speeds.
ISL Trunking
Frame-based trunking with up to eight 16 Gbps ports per ISL trunk; up to 128
Gbps per ISL trunk. Exchange-based load balancing across ISLs with DPS
included in Fabric OS. There is no limit to how many trunk groups can be
configured in the switch.
Aggregate bandwidth
768 Gbit/sec full duplex
Fabric latency
Latency for locally switched ports is 700 ns; encryption/compression is 5.5 sec
per node; Forward Error Correction (FEC) adds 400 ns between E_Ports
(enabled by default).
Maximum frame size
2112-byte payload
Classes of service
Class 2, Class 3, Class F (inter-switch frames)
Port types
D_Port (Diagnostic Port), E_Port, EX_Port, F_Port, M_Port (Mirror Port); self-
discovery based on switch type (U_Port); optional port type control
Access Gateway mode: F_Port and NPIV-enabled N_Port
Data traffic types
Fabric switches supporting unicast
