Optical Ports
The SAN Switch 2/8 optical ports support link speeds up to 2 Gbps. Each port
automatically negotiates to the highest common speed of all devices connected.
Additionally, the switch supports F_port, FL_port, and E_port connections and
Distributed Name Server (DNS).
The ports are color-coded into two groups of four, to indicate which ports are used
in the same ISL Trunking group. Each port conforms to the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) Fibre Channel, FC-PI specification for Fibre Channel
SFP transceivers.
ISL Trunking
ISL trunking is an optional Fabric OS feature that enables distribution of traffic
over the combined bandwidth of up to four ISLs between two directly adjacent
switches, while preserving in-order delivery. For information about ISL trunking,
refer to the HP StorageWorks ISL Trunking Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide.
SFPs
The ports connect to SFP media. SFPs are universal and self-configuring.
