Description
32 FC ports universal (E, F, EX, FL, and M)
Two 1000 Base Ethernet ports for I/O synchronization during re-keying
Recovery card
Hardware-based compression prior to encryption
AES256–XTS block cipher core for disk encryption IEEE 1619.1 compliant
AES256–GCM block cipher core for tape encryption IEEE 1619.2 compliant
AES256–ECB block cipher core for third-party compatibility encryption support
Supports 64K Data-Encryption Keys (DEKs) Combination of disk LUN keys or
tape pool keys
Supports 12 re-key sessions (outstanding) per switch. For a given target, supports
a maximum of 2 concurrent re-key sessions could be a combination of manual
or auto (expiry based).
Supports 256 target devices, 1,024 host ports (disk array target ports or tape
target/library ports) per switch (quantity is double for two-way HA cluster config-
uration).
Maximum bandwidth of 102 Gb/s for disk I/O traffic; maximum bandwidth of
51 Gb/s for tape I/O traffic
Support for 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s SFPs, which are full-duplex capable
6,000 active nodes; combination of 56 switches, 19 hops; larger fabrics certified
as required.
Frame-based trunking with up to eight 8-Gb/s ports per ISL trunk; up to 64 Gb/s
per ISL trunk
512 Gb/s per switch for nonencrypted traffic
2,112–byte payload for FC
Class 2 (nonencrypted traffic), Class 3, Class F (inter-switch frames)
Fabric switches supporting unicast, multicast (255 groups), and broadcast
One USB port for system uploads and downloads, and firmware upgrades (sup-
portsame, configUploads, configDownloads)
