Fibre Channel Transceivers
Each port is served by an SFP optical transceiver and is capable of 2, 4, or 8Gbps
transmission. SFPs are hot-pluggable. User ports can self-discover both the port
type and transmission speed when connected to public devices or switches.
The iSR6200 router supports SFP optical transceivers for the Fibre Channel ports.
A transceiver converts electrical signals to and from optical laser signals to
transmit and receive data. Duplex fiber optic cables plug into the transceivers,
which then connect to the devices. For example, a 2Gbps or 4Gbps Fibre Channel
port can transmit at 2Gbps or 4Gbps; however, the transceiver must also be
capable of delivering these rates.
The SFP transceivers are hot pluggable. You can remove or install a transceiver
while the router is operating without harming the router or the transceiver.
However, this interrupts communication with the connected device. For details
about installing and removing SFP optical transceivers, see “Installing the
Transceivers” on page 3-6.
