  • Page 21: Introduction

    You can interconnect the switches to create a high port count solution, or you can use them in a dual fabric, high availability topology. v The 2109 Model M12 supports 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps auto-sensing Fibre Channel ports. Trunking technology groups up to four ports together to create high performance 8 Gbps inter-switch links (ISL) trunks between switches.

  • Page 22: Throughput

    1 Gbps transmit port has adequate time to empty it. Link distance The 2109 Model M12 operates at up to 10 km (6.21 mi) at both 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps speed settings and supports LWL SFPs and single-mode fiber.

  • Page 23: System Design Overview

    System design overview The 2109 Model M12 is highly available, modular, and scalable. High availability features include: v Redundant CPs and CP hot-swappable replacements v Dual redundant ac input and hot-swappable power supplies in the redundant power subsystem v Hot-swappable blowers in the redundant cooling system...

  • Page 24: High Availability

    Availability is designated in terms of 9s. For example, the architecture of the 2109 Model M12 is designed for availability in excess of 99.999%. The high availability software architecture of the 2109 Model M12 provides a common framework for all applications that reside on the system. High availability allows global and local states to be maintained so that any component failure is fully manageable.
