Fibre Channel Ports
The SANbox 5602 switch has 16 Fibre Channel 1-Gbps/2-Gbps ports and 4 Fibre
Channel 10-Gbps ports. Ports are numbered 0–19 as shown in Figure 2-4. Each
of the 1-Gbps/2-Gbps ports is served by a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)
optical transceiver and is capable of 1-Gbps or 2-Gbps transmission, or with
optional licensing, 4-Gbps. SFPs are hot-pluggable. User ports can self-discover
both the port type and transmission speed when connected to public devices or
other switches. The 1-Gbps/2-Gbps port LEDs are located above their respective
ports and provide port login and activity status information.
Each 10-Gbps port is served by an XPAK optical transceiver or an XPAK switch
stacking cable for connecting to other SANbox 5602 switches. The XPAK switch
stacking cable is a passive cable and transceiver assembly that is hot-pluggable.
The 10-Gbps ports come from the factory with covers that must be removed
before installing transceivers or cables. 10-Gbps port LEDs are located to the left
of their respective ports and provide port login and activity status information.
Figure 2-4. Fibre Channel Ports
The SANbox 5602 switch comes from the factory as an 8-, 12-, 16-, or 20-port
switch, enabling ports 0–7, 0–11, 0–15, or 0–19 respectively. You can upgrade the
SANbox 5602 switch to enable additional ports up to the 20-port maximum
through the purchase of a license key. Refer to “Upgrading the SANbox 5602
Switch” on page 4-25 for information about port licensing.
