Fibre Channel Classes of Service: .....Class 3, Class 2
Modes of Operation: ..........................Connectionless only: Class 2 and/or Class 3
Mixed Mode:
Fabric Port Types:................................F_Ports, FL_Ports, SL_Ports, TL_Ports,
T_Ports.
100% of all Switch ports can be any of the
above ports.
Number of Fibre Channel Ports: ........16 Ports per chassis; Populated by 2 to 16
GBICs in one GBIC increments.
Scalability: .........................................Up to 192 fabric ports in a multi-chassis
topology. Multi-chassis topology may use
cross-connecting for the fewest chassis hops.
Chassis Hops:.....................................Mesh topology - 1 or 2 chassis latencies
Cascade topology - 1 to 4 chassis latencies
depending on the number of chassis
cascaded.
Multistage topology - 1 or 3 chassis laten-
cies.
Maximum User Ports:........................A 16-port chassis can support up to ~1000
N_Ports and NL_Ports.
A 192-port multi-chassis system can support
up to ~12,000 N_Ports and NL_Ports.
Buffer Credits.....................................Each port has eight buffer credits. This
allows a cable length up to 13 km at 1 Gbps
without performance degradation. Cable
length is also dependant on the type of GBIC
used.
