Appendix A. Product specifications
This appendix provides the specifications for the SAN42B-R switch. The SAN42B-R
provides Fibre Channel, FICON, and FCIP performance for remote replication,
backup, and migration. Up to 24 2/4/8/16 Gbps ports Fibre Channel ports, 16
1/10 GbE, and two 40 GbE optical ports support scalable bandwidth, port density,
and throughput that extend Storage Area Network (SAN) fabric connectivity over
distance.
