XP24000
Fibre Channel
Requirements:
XP20000
• Firmware 5.1.0, 5.0.1
XP12000
• SONET/SDH OC-3
• Port parameters:
◦ For direct connect, Fabric = Off, Connection = FC-AL
◦ For switch/fabric connect (B-series switches), Fabric = On, Connection = Point to Point
Distances
• Distance is unlimited using converters and Asynchronous replication.
• Converter and Synchronous replication have practical distance limitations.
• Supported distance for an ATM connection depends on network latency delays, packet loss, and application performance
requirements.
