Hardware features
The SAN64B-6 offers the following features and capabilities:
• Up to 48 auto-sensing ports supporting high-performance 32-Gbps SFP+ ports technology in a single
domain.
• Up to four 128-Gbps (4 x 32-Gbps) QSFP ports to connect to the QSFP ports of another devices.
• Ports on Demand (POD) scaling from a base configuration of 24 ports to 64 ports (two 12-port SFP+
PODs and one 16-port QSFP POD).
• 4-, 8-, 16-, and 32-Gbps auto-sensing Fibre Channel switch and router ports.
‐
A 32-Gbps optical transceiver can auto-negotiate to 32 Gbps, 16 Gbps, or 8 Gbps.
‐
A 16-Gbps optical transceiver can auto-negotiate to 16 Gbps, 8 Gbps, or 4 Gbps.
NOTE
The port speed is determined by the maximum speed supported by the optical transceiver at the
other end of the link.
• 10-Gbps manually set capability on FC ports (requires the optional 10-Gigabit FCIP/Fibre Channel
license).
‐
10-Gbps performance is enabled by 10-Gbps SFP+ transceivers.
‐
Ports can be configured for 10-Gbps for metro connectivity.
• Universal ports self-configure as a E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, or D_Ports. EX_Ports can be
activated on a per-port basis with the optional Integrated Routing license.
‐
A Diagnostic Port (D_Port) provides diagnostics, troubleshooting, and verification services for the
physical media.
• Support for port-side exhaust or nonport-side exhaust airflow for cooling.
• Brocade small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) optical transceivers support any combination of
Short Wavelength (SWL), Long Wavelength (LWL) or Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL) optical
media among the switch ports.
• Extended distance Fibre Channel to support long distance native FC connectivity.
• 10-Gbps Fibre Channel integration on any selected port provides DWDM metro connectivity on the
same switch.
• Port-to-port latency is minimized to 700 nanoseconds by using cut-through frame switching at 32
Gbps.
• High performance T1022 processor with two cores operating at 1.2 GHz delivers high performance,
scalability, and advanced Fabric Vision functionality.
