FC64-48 Port Blade Numbering and Trunking
The following figure shows how ports are numbered on the blade.
Figure 51: FC64-48 Blade Port Numbering
1. FC ports 0-23 (numbered right to left)
2. FC ports 24-47 (numbered right to left)
See Supported Transceivers and Cables for a list of qualified transceivers for blade ports.
The following table defines the eight-port Fibre Channel port groups for configuring trunk groups or "trunks." On the blade,
ports belonging to the same port group are indicated with the same color border beneath the port on the blade label. Ports
belonging to the same ASIC are indicated by a border with a similar color tone.
Table 29: Port Groups for Configuring Trunks
Port Number Port Group
0–7 0
8–15 1
16–23 2
24–31 3
32–39 4
40–47 5
Following are the requirements for forming trunk groups:
•
All ports in a trunk group must belong to the same port group. For example, to form an 8-port trunk select all eight ports
from port group 0 or port group 1. You cannot use ports from each port group for the trunk.
•
You can use from 1 to 8 ports in a port group to form a trunk.
•
All ports in a trunk must be running at the same speed.
•
All ports in a trunk must be configured for the same distance.
•
All ports in a trunk must have the same encryption, compression, QoS, and FEC settings.
•
Trunk groups must be created between Brocade switches (or Brocade adapters in the case of F_Port trunking).
Brocade trunking is proprietary and is not supported on M-EOS or third-party switches.
•
There must be a direct connection between participating switches.
