Switch Features The HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/12 provides up to 12 ports of low-cost and high-performance dynamic Fibre Channel connectivity for switched fabric devices or arbitrated loop devices. This function allows low-cost, low-bandwidth workgroup (edge) devices to communicate with mainframe servers, mass storage devices, or other peripherals, and ultimately to be incorporated into an enterprise storage area network (SAN) environment.
(OEMs). To determine if an OEM product can communicate through connections provided by the switch, or if communication restrictions apply, refer to the supporting publications for the product or contact your HP marketing representative. Edge Switch 2/12 Installation Guide...
Switch Features Figure 1: Edge Switch 2/12 (front view) Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) The switch provides a modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs, small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers.

Switch Features Ethernet LAN Connector The front panel provides a 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) RJ-45 twisted-pair connector that attaches to an Ethernet LAN to provide communication with the EWS interface or an SNMP management workstation. Two green LEDs are associated with the LAN connector.
Switch Features SFP Transceivers (Fibre Optic Connectors) The Edge Switch 2/12 provides 12 Fibre Channel ports. A single-mode or multi-mode fiber-optic cable attaches to a port through a small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver. The SFP provides a duplex LC interface, and can be detached from the switch port for easy replacement.
Switch Features Power Supply The switch contains one power supply with internal cooling fans. The power supply steps down and rectifies facility input power to provide 3.3 volts direct current (VDC), 5 VDC, and 12 VDC to the control processor (CTP) card. The power supply also provides input filtering, overvoltage protection, and overcurrent protection.
At the browser, enter the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the switch as the Internet uniform resource locator (URL). When prompted at a login screen, enter a user name and password. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Embedded Web Server User Guide for more information. Command Line Interface The command line interface (CLI) allows you to access many switch management functions while entering commands during a Telnet session with the switch.
Switch Features Operational Features The Edge Switch 2/12 supports several operational features including: Advanced error detection, reporting, and serviceability Zoning Support for multi-switch fabrics Software diagnostics to aid in fault isolation and repair Error-Detection, Reporting, and Serviceability Features The switch provides the following error detection, reporting, and serviceability features: Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on switch FRUs and adjacent to Fibre Channel ports that provide visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions.
The trap messages indicate product operational state changes and failure conditions. Note: For more information about SNMP support provided by Hewlett-Packard HP StorageWorks SNMP Reference Guide for Directors and products, refer to the Edge Switches Zoning The switch supports a hardware-enforced name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones.
Switch Features Caution: If zoning is implemented by port number, a change to the switch fiber-optic cable configuration disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone. If zoning is implemented by WWN, removal and replacement of a device HBA or Fibre Channel interface (thereby changing the device WWN) disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone.
