Hardware

The SAN Switch 2/32 consists of the following components:
18
High-speed data traffic using Interswitch Link (ISL) trunking technology
Automatic rerouting through the Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) algorithm
Application Programming Interface (API) which is a protocol that allows
applications to interface with switch services
Zoning functionality which provides a means to allocate storage controllers to
groups of computers. Allows you to create logical subsets of the fabric to
accommodate closed user groups or to create functional user groups within a
fabric
Per port statistics which help technicians diagnose and isolate problem ports
without disrupting switch operations
Error detections and fault isolation which automatically disables failing ports
and restarts when the problem is resolved
Industry standard Management Information Base (MIB) support
Automatic self-discovery which discovers and registers host server and
storage devices
Web Tools which provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to allow
management of a SAN from a browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape
Air-cooled 1.5U chassis that can be set up as a stand-alone unit or mounted in
a standard Electronic Industries Association (EIA) 19-inch rack
32 Fibre Channel ports
One RS-232 Serial port, designed to connect to a DTE port
One 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector
Two redundant power supplies, with AC switches and built-in fans
