– Flow monitoring reports IOPS and data rate of individual I/O flows of inter-DC replication and
tape backup operations.
– Flow generator generates FC frames for a defined flow with default or custom size and pattern and
sent across extension tunnel to help validate end to end network setup and configuration.
v Extended distance Fibre Channel supports long distance native FC connectivity.
v Extension tunnels and circuits:
– A maximum of 8 circuits can be configured per tunnel.
– A maximum of 20 tunnels (VE_Ports) can be configured for all GbE ports.
– The maximum committed rate of a single circuit is 10 Gbps, whether configured on a 10 GbE or 40
GbE port.
v FCIP and hybrid mode (FC + IP) modes.
SX6 blade port numbering and trunking
The following illustration shows how ports are numbered on the blade. Ports are labeled as 10GE, 40
GbE, and FC on the blade.
1 - 40 GbE port 0
2 - 40 GbE port 1
3 - 10/1 GbE ports 2–9 (right to left)
4 - 10/1 GbE ports 10–17 (right to left)
5 - FC ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11 (right to left)
6 - FC ports 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15 (right to left)
Following are the eight-port Fibre Channel port groups for configuring trunk groups or "trunks":
v Port group 0: ports 0–7
v Port group 1: ports 8–15
Following are the requirements for forming trunk groups:
v All ports in a trunk group must belong to the same port group. For example, to form an 8-port trunk
select all eight ports from port group 0 or port group 1. You cannot use ports from each port group for
the trunk.
v You can use from 1–8 ports in a port group to form a trunk.
v Ports must be running at the same speed.
v Ports must be configured for the same distance.
v Ports must have the same encryption, compression, QoS, and FEC settings.
v Trunk groups must be created between switches (or adapters in the case of F_Port trunking). trunking
is proprietary and is not supported on M-EOS or third-party switches.
v There must be a direct connection between participating switches.
For full details on trunking requirements and configuration, refer to theFabric OS Administrator's Guide.
