McDATA Sphereon 4300 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
General Information
• Expansion ports (E_Ports) to provide interswitch link (ISL)
connectivity to fabric directors and switches.

attachment for Fibre Channel arbitrated loop (FC-AL) devices.

and maintenance. The interface is opened from a web browser
running Netscape Navigator

Internet
Explorer 4.0 (or higher).
