Hardware features
The IBM 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 IBM SAN64B-6
device.
• Dynamic Ports on Demand (Dynamic-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.
– A 10Gb/s optical transceiver can autonegotiate to 10Gb/s.
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.
• The following table lists the number of ports that can be enabled with compression and encryption.
