Multistage Topology
SANbox-16STD Fibre Channel Switch
5-14 Multi-Chassis Fabrics 59012-03 Rev. A Installer’s/User’s Manual
Figure 5-4 SANbox-16 Multistage with two T_Port links from each IO/T chassis
Figure 5-4 shows a Multistage Switch built from SANbox-16 chassis. Each of the
eight IO/T chassis has two T_Port connections to the CC chassis. This provides
200 MBytes of bandwidth between each IO/T chassis and failover in case a T_Port
fails. Each IO/T chassis distributes the available T_Port access among its user
ports. If a T_Port fails, the chassis distributes the user ports from the failed T_Port
to other T_Ports that are good.
There are 14 user ports remaining on each IO/T chassis. All user ports may be F,
FL, SL, or TL_Ports.
