Systems Architecture
Ports
18 ports: 16 Fibre Channel (E, F, FL, EX) ports and 2 Gigabit Ethernet (VE, VEX) ports
Performance
Fibre Channel: 1.063, 2.125, and 4.250 Gbit/sec line speed, full duplex; auto-sensing of 1, 2, and 4 Gbit/sec port speeds; optionally programmable to fixed port speed; speed matching between 1, 2, and 4 Gbit/sec ports
Ethernet: 1.25 Gbit/sec
Fibre Channel Aggregate bandwidth
128 Gbit/sec (16 x 8 Gbit/sec data rate)
IP WAN aggregate bandwidth
Two Gigabit Ethernet ports each supporting eight FCIP tunnels up to 1 Gbit/sec for an aggregate bandwidth of 2 Gbit/sec
Fabric latency
< 8 microseconds (FC-to-FC routed traffic) 30 microseconds (FCIP)
Maximum frame size
2112-byte payload for Fibre Channel, 2250-byte payload for Gigabit Ethernet, 2048-byte payload for Fibre Channel routed networks
Classes of service
Class 2 and 3
Port types
FL_Port, F_Port, EX_Port, and E_Port; self discovery based on switch type (U_Port); Gigabit Ethernet for VE and VEX
Media types
Hot-pluggable, industry-standard Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP), LC connector
Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet ports
Short-Wavelength Laser (SWL) up to 500 meters (1640 feet);
Fibre Channel ports only
Long-Wavelength Laser (LWL) up to 10 km (6.2 mi);
Extended Long-Wavelength Laser (ELWL) up to 80 km (49.6 mi);
