Product features
Key product features for this device include the following:
v
Redundant and hot-swappable SFP, SFP+, SFP28, and QSFP+ transceivers; port,
extension, control processor (CP) and core routing (CR) blades; power supply
assemblies, fan assemblies, and WWN cards that enable a high availability
platform and allow nondisruptive software upgrades for mission-critical SAN
applications.
v
Up to 384 32-Gbps external ports and 32 4x32-Gbps QSFP (ICL) ports in a single
chassis, enabling high density SAN configurations with reduced footprint.
v
Up to 192 32-Gbps external ports and 16 4x32-Gbps QSFP (ICL) ports in a single
chassis, enabling high density SAN configurations with reduced footprint.
v
Support for 48 4-, 8-, 16-, and 32-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel ports on
FC32-48 port blades. Trunking technology groups up to eight ports to create
high performance 256-Gbps ISL trunks between switches using 32-Gbps ports.
v
10-Gbps FC-type SFPs on FC32-48 port blades and 10-GbE SFPs on the SX6
application blades. The two types of SFPs are not interchangeable. The 10-Gbps
transceivers can be used for any port on the FC32-48 port blades.
v
Support for 16 Fibre Channel ports supporting 4-, 8-, 16-, and 32-Gbps; 16 GbE
ports supporting 1 or 10 Gbps; and two GbE ports supporting 40 Gbps on SX6
extension blades. Trunking technology groups up to eight ports to create high
performance 256-Gbps ISL trunks between switches using 32-Gbps ports.
v
Support for FC quad SFP (QSFP) ports supporting 4x16 Gbps and 4x32 Gbps on
core CR blades. Up to nine chassis in a full-mesh topology and 12 chassis in a
core-to-edge topology can be connected using these Fibre Channel ports for
inter-chassis links (ICLs).
v
Universal ports that self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, EX_Ports, M_Ports
(mirror ports), and FICON ports. The 10-Gbps ports on the port blade can
function as E_Ports only.
v
ClearLink Diagnostic port (D_Port) functionality on Fibre Channel ports.
v
Data compression capabilities through the port blades when ports are configured
as ISLs.
v
The SX6 blades perform as extension platforms to support Fibre Channel (FC)
and FICON data flows and IP-based storage data flows over an IP WAN.
