CrossLink
A CrossLink connection is used to improve interswitch bandwidth. A CrossLink is
used to connect two switches from the CrossFire 8600 series with two to eight links.
A CrossLink provides bandwidth of from 32 to 128 Mbps in half-duplex mode, or
from 64 to 256 Mbps in full-duplex mode.
Figure 22. Setting up CrossLinks
The CrossLink feature affects other switch features in the following ways:
•
Half-duplex and full-duplex.
A single CrossLink can include a combination of
half-duplex and full-duplex connections—for example, a CrossLink
containing three ports can have two full-duplex and one half-duplex
connections. However, each pair of interconnected ports must both be either
half-duplex or full-duplex.
•
Statistics reporting.
Statistics for the CrossLink are displayed for individual
ports, not for the CrossLink as a whole. Station addresses are distributed
among the ports in the CrossLink. See Chapter 7, “Monitoring the Network
with the Console”.
•
Address filtering.
Address filters are automatically added to every port in a
CrossLink.
