The following abbreviated terms are used throughout this document
for clarity and consistency.
Abbreviation Definition
CP1 This CP manages the FC-16 port blades in an ED-12000B. It does not have
switching capabilities. All port blades can operate at either 1- and 2-Gbit/sec. It
only supports a dual domain configuration within the chassis.
CP2 This CP manages the FC2-16 port blades in a ED-24000B. This CP supports 1-
and 2- Gbit/sec port speeds. It provides switching capability at 2-Gbit/sec when
the FC2-16 is used. It supports both the dual domain and a single domain
configuration within the chassis.
CP4 This CP manages the FC2-16, FC4-16, and FC4-32 port blades in a ED-48000B.
This CP provides the Fibre Channel switching capability up to 4-Gbit/sec when the
FC4-16 or FC4-32 blades are used. It provides switching capability at 2-Gbit/sec
when the FC2-16 is used. It only supports a single domain configuration within the
chassis.
FC-16 A 16-port director port blade supporting 1- and 2- Gbit/sec port speeds. This port
blade is only compatible with the ED-12000B CP blades.
FC2-16 A 16-port director port blade supporting 1- and 2- Gbit/sec port speeds. This port
blade is only compatible with the ED-24000B or ED-48000B CP blades. Uses
newer technology to achieve higher performance with less power consumption
than FC-16.
FC4-16 A 16-port director port blade supporting 1-, 2-, and 4- Gbit/sec port speeds. This
port blade is only compatible with the ED-48000B CP blades. FC4-16 blades do
not support private devices.
FC4-32 A 32-port director port blade supporting 1-, 2-, and 4- Gbit/sec port speeds.This
port blade is only compatible with the ED-48000B CP blades. Uses the same
technology as in FC4-16 with built in daughter card to achieve higher port density
than FC4-16. FC4-32 blades do not support private devices.
