Eclipse 1620 SAN Router
Figure 1-10
SAN router ports operate as follows:
• Two user-configured FCP (FIBRE CHANNEL 1 and 2) ports
provide 1.0625 Gbps Fibre Channel storage connectivity using
SFP port connectors. FCP ports can be configured for:
— Auto negotiation (FC-Auto) operation. This is the default
selection.
— Fabric loop port (FL_Port) for public loop device connectivity,
fabric port (F_Port) for fabric device connectivity, loop port
(L_Port) for private loop device connectivity, or router port
(R_Port) for SAN routing operation.
• Two user-configured intelligent (ETHERNET 3 and 4) ports
provide both FCP and IP network connectivity. Each intelligent
port provides two connectors (SFP or RJ-45). Connectivity
through the connector pair is mutually exclusive; only one
connector can be used. Intelligent ports can be configured for:
— FCP storage connectivity at 1.0625 Gbps, using only the SFP
port connector. The ports support FC-Auto, FL_Port, F_Port,
L_Port, and R_Port operation.
— IP network connectivity (iFCP or iSCSI protocol) at up to
full-duplex 100 Base-T Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) port
transmission speed, using only the RJ-45 port connector.
