Optical Ports

All switch ports support full fabric capability. Full fabric allows the Fibre Channel
SAN Switch 2/16 to link or cascade to other HP StorageWorks Fibre Channel
switches running v2.6x and later, building a highly scalable SAN fabric. The Fibre
Channel SAN Switch 2/16 supports F_port, FL_port, and E_port connections and
Distributed Name Server (DNS).
The ports on the front panel of the SAN Switch 2/16 are color-coded in groups,
with four purple ports alternating with four unmarked ports, to indicate which
ports can be used in the same ISL trunking group (see
page 17). Each port automatically negotiates to the highest common speed.
The ports are capable of operating at 2.125 Gbps or 1.0625 Gbps. Each port
conforms to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Fibre Channel,
FC-PI specification for Fibre Channel SFP transceivers.
