Fibre Channel Ports
The SANbox 5000 Series switch has sixteen 1/2/4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports and
four 10-Gbps Fibre Channel ports. Ports are numbered 0–19 as shown in
Figure 2-4
. Each of the 1/2/4-Gbps ports is served by a Small Form-Factor
Pluggable (SFP) transceiver and is capable of 1-Gbps, 2-Gbps, or 4-Gbps
transmission. SFPs are hot-pluggable. User ports can self-discover both the port
type and transmission speed when connected to devices or other switches. The
1/2/4-Gbps port LEDs are located above their respective ports and provide port
login and activity status information.
Each 10-Gbps port is served by an XPAK optical transceiver or an XPAK switch
stacking cable for connecting to other SANbox 5000 Series switches. The XPAK
switch stacking cable is a passive cable and transceiver assembly that is
hot-pluggable. The 10-Gbps ports come from the factory with covers that must be
removed before installing transceivers or cables. 10-Gbps port LEDs are located
to the left of their respective ports and provide port login and activity status.
Figure 2-4. Fibre Channel Ports
The SANbox 5000 Series switch comes from the factory as an 8-, 12-, 16-, or
20-port switch, enabling ports 0–7, 0–11, 0–15, or 0–19 respectively. You can
choose which ports are active using the mPort Technology feature in Enterprise
Fabric Suite 2007, or enable additional ports up to the 20-port maximum through
the purchase of a license key. Refer to
“Installing Feature License Keys” on
page 4-21
for more information.
NOTE:
This document refers to ports 0–15 as 1/2/4-Gbps ports for
convenience though SANbox 5200 Series switches do not support
4-Gbps transmission.
