• Expansion ports (E_Ports) to provide interswitch link (ISL)
connectivity to fabric directors and switches.
• Fabric loop ports (FL_Ports) to provide connectivity and fabric
attachment for Fibre Channel arbitrated loop (FC-AL) devices.
The switch is installed on a table or desktop, mounted in an FC-512
®
Fabricenter equipment cabinet, or mounted in any standard 19-inch
equipment rack.
Operators with a browser-capable PC and Internet connectivity can
manage the switch through a firmware-resident Enterprise Fabric
Connectivity Manager (EFCM) Basic Edition interface. The interface
manages only a single switch, and provides a graphical user interface
(GUI) that supports configuration, statistics monitoring, operation,
and maintenance. The interface is opened from a web browser
running Netscape Navigator
Explorer 4.0 (or higher).
As an option, the switch is managed through a one-unit (1U) high,
rack-mount management server running a Java™-based SAN
management application (SANavigator
and the switch Element Manager application.
Multiple switches and the 1U server communicate on a local area
network (LAN) through one or more 10/100 Base-T Ethernet hubs.
The 24-port Ethernet hubs are optional and ordered with the switch.
Up to three hubs are daisy-chained as required to provide additional
Ethernet connections as more switches (or other managed products)
are installed on a network.
The switch provides a modular design that enables quick removal
and replacement of FRUs, including small form factor pluggable
(SFP) optical transceivers and power supply assemblies.
