PB-48K-18i blade
The PB-48K-18i blade has 16 physical Fibre Channel SFP ports
supporting the Fibre Channel Routing Services, and two physical
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) SFP ports supporting the Fibre Channel Over
IP (FCIP) feature. It operates with the Fabric Operating System and
can communicate with another PB-48K-18i or an MP-7500B for both
Fibre Channel Routing services and FCIP, or a AP-7420B for Fibre
Channel Routing Services.
The PB-48K-18i blade is intended as a platform for Fibre Channel
Routing Services and FCIP. Refer to the EMC Connectrix B Series Fabric
OS Administrator’s Guide for information on configuring these
features.
The PB-48K-18i blade provides the following features:
◆ 16 Fibre Channel SFP ports supporting the Fibre Channel Routing
Services with link speeds up to 1, 2, or 4 Gbps.
◆ 2 GbE ports supporting the FCIP and Fibre Channel Routing
Services with fixed link speed at 1 Gbps:
• Each GbE port can support up to eight FCIP tunnels.
• Each FCIP tunnel is represented and managed as a virtual
Fibre Channel E_Port.
• Fibre Channel Routing Services can be used over the FCIP
link.
• Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are
configured as VE_Ports, and do not merge if they are
configured as VEX_Ports. If VE_Ports are used in a Fibre
Channel Routing Services backbone fabric configuration, then
the backbone fabric merges, but the EX_Port-attached edge
fabrics do not merge. For more information refer to the EMC
Connectrix B Series Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
