Fibre Channel Ports
The SANbox 5800V Series switch has twenty Fibre Channel Small Form-Factor
Pluggable (SFP) ports and four Fibre Channel XPAK ports. SFP ports are
numbered 0–19 as shown in Figure 2-3. Each SFP port is served by an SFP
optical transceiver and is capable of 1-, 2-, 4-, or 8-Gbps transmission. SFP ports
are hot-pluggable and can self-discover both the port type and transmission
speed when connected to devices or other switches. The port LEDs are located
above ports 0–9 and below ports 10–19, and provide port login and activity status
information.
The XPAK ports are numbered 20–23 as shown in Figure 2-3. Each XPAK port is
served by an XPAK optical transceiver or an XPAK switch stacking cable. An
XPAK port is capable of 12.75-Gbps transmission or 25.5-Gbps with the optional
license key. XPAK ports are hot-pluggable and can self-discover transmission
speed when connected to devices or other switches. The XPAK switch stacking
cable is a passive cable and transceiver assembly for connecting to other
XPAK-capable switches. The XPAK ports come with covers that must be removed
before installing transceivers or cables. XPAK port LEDs are located to the left of
their respective ports and provide port login and activity status.
Figure 2-3 Fibre Channel Ports
Each SFP port is capable of 1-, 2-, 4-, or 8-Gbps transmission depending on the
SFP. SFP ports are hot-pluggable and can self-discover both the port type and
transmission speed when connected to devices or other switches. The SFP port
LEDs are located above their respective ports and provide port login and activity
status information.
NOTE:
Setting an SFP port to 1-Gbps that has an 8-Gbps SFP transceiver will down
the port.
