Fibre Channel

System component Description

Fibre Channel ports

24 SFP+ ports (8-port increments through capacity-based Ports on Demand (PoD) licenses) that support any combination of Short Wavelength (SWL) and Long Wavelength (LWL) or Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL) optical media.

The SFP+ ports are capable of auto-negotiating to 4, 8, 16, or 32 Gbps speed depending on the SFP+ model and the minimum supported speed of the optical transceiver at the other end of the link.
  • 4-, 8-, and 16-Gbps performance is enabled by 16-Gbps SFP+ transceivers provided the other end of the connection has a minimum of 4 Gbps speed set on the port.
  • 8-, 16-, and 32-Gbps performance is enabled by 32-Gbps SFP+ transceivers provided the other end of the connection has a minimum of 8 Gbps speed set on the port.
Note: 2-, 4-, and 8-Gbps transceivers are not supported.

LEDs

System component Description

System power LED

One green system power status LED (upper) on the left side.

System status LED

One bicolor (green/amber) system status LED (lower) on the left side.

Ethernet port link LED

One link LED on the left of the RJ45 connector. This glows green for 1000 Mbps and amber for 100/10 Mbps.

Ethernet port activity LED

One green activity LED on the right of the RJ45 connector.

FC port status LED

24 bicolor (green/amber) port status LEDs. There is one LED for each SFP+ port on the switch.

Note: All the LEDs are on the port-side view of the device.
