Protocol compliance
The 3534 Model F08 complies with the following standards and protocols.
Support for Fibre Channel ports
All ports on the 3534 Model F08 are universal ports and support F_port
(point-to-point), FL_port (loop), and E_port (switch-to-switch) port connections.
Fibre Channel class operation
The 3534 Model F08 supports Fibre Channel Class 2, Class 3, and Class F
operations on all ports.
Auto-configuration
All ports support E_ports to allow for cascading switches to form larger fabrics.
E_ports are auto-configuring. Linking ports from any two switches automatically
configures an E_port connection to form the fabric. The 3534 Model F08 supports a
trunking option that binds up to four ports together as a high-performance trunk
group. In this trunking configuration, interswitch data transfers can occur at an
