SAN router ports operate as follows:
• Twelve user-configured FCP ports (1 through 12) provide 1.0625
or 2.1250 Gbps FCP storage connectivity and UDP-based network
connectivity using SFP port connectors. FCP ports can be
configured for:
— UDP-based network connectivity (mFCP protocol) at
full-duplex GbE (1,000 Mbps) port transmission speed.
— Fibre Channel auto negotiation (FC-Auto) operation. This is
the default selection.
— Fibre channel fabric loop port (FL_Port) for public loop
device connectivity, fabric port (F_Port) for fabric device
connectivity, loop port (L_Port) for private loop device
connectivity, or router port (R_Port) for SAN routing
operation.
• Four user-configurable intelligent ports (13 through 16) provide
IP network connectivity using SFP port connectors. Intelligent
ports can be configured for IP network connectivity (iFCP or
iSCSI protocol) at up to full-duplex GbE (1,000 Mbps) port
transmission speed. Refer to
information.
The SAN router provides a modular design that enables quick
removal and replacement of FRUs, including:
• Redundant power supplies and cooling fans. The SAN router
provides two power supplies each with an AC power receptacle,
power switch, and two cooling fans (four fans total).
• Up to 16 duplex SFP fiber-optic port transceivers. Shortwave laser
transceivers are available for transferring data over multimode
fiber-optic cable. Longwave laser transceivers are available for
transferring data over singlemode fiber-optic cable. Fiber-optic
cables attach to SAN router port transceivers with duplex LC
connectors.
The SAN router front panel provides an Ethernet LAN connector
(10/100), port status LEDs, and a green system status (SYS) LED. The
panel also provides a 9-pin DSUB maintenance port (CONSOLE) for
connection to a local terminal or remote terminal. Although the port
is typically used by authorized maintenance personnel, operations
personnel can use the port to configure SAN router network
addresses.
