Fibre Channel Ports

The SANbox 5800V Series switch can be a 12-, 16-, 20-, or 24-port switch. This
means that the four XPAK ports 20–23 are enabled plus varying numbers of SFP
ports. For example, the base 12-port switch enables the four XPAK ports and SFP
ports 0–7. License keys are available from your authorized reseller to enable
additional SFP ports or upgrade the XPAK ports to 20-Gbps. Refer to “Feature
Licensing” on page 3-5 for more information.
You can choose which ports are active using the mPort™ Technology feature in
Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007.
Port LEDs
Each port has its own Logged-In LED (L) and Activity LED (A) as shown in
Figure 2-4.
Figure 2-4 Port LEDs
Port Logged-In LED (Green)
The Logged-in LED indicates the logged-in or initialization status of the connected
devices. After successful completion of the POST, the switch extinguishes all
Logged-In LEDs. Following a successful port login, the switch illuminates the
corresponding logged-in LED. This shows that the port is properly connected and
able to communicate with its attached devices. The Logged-In LED remains
illuminated as long as the port is initialized or logged in. If the port connection is
broken or an error occurs that disables the port, the Logged-In LED is
extinguished. Refer to “Logged-In LED Indications” on page 5-7 for more
information about the Logged-In LED.
Port Activity LED (Green)
The Activity LED indicates that data is passing through the port. Each frame that
the port transmits or receives illuminates this LED for 50 milliseconds. This makes
it possible to observe the transmission of a single frame.
