Fibre Channel Ports
The SANbox 5802V switch has twenty Fibre Channel Small Form-Factor
Pluggable (SFP) ports and four Fibre Channel XPAK ports. SFP ports are
numbered 0–19 as shown in Figure 2-3. Each SFP port is served by an SFP
optical transceiver and is capable of 2-, 4-, or 8-Gbps transmission. SFP ports are
hot-pluggable and can self-discover both the port type and transmission speed
when connected to devices or other switches. The port LEDs are located above
ports 0–9 and below ports 10–19, and provide port login and activity status
information.
The XPAK ports are numbered 20–23 as shown in Figure 2-3. Each XPAK port is
served by an XPAK optical transceiver or an XPAK switch stacking cable and is
capable of 10-Gbps transmission. XPAK ports are hot-pluggable and can
self-discover transmission speed when connected to devices or other switches.
The XPAK switch stacking cable is a passive cable and transceiver assembly for
connecting to other XPAK-capable switches. The XPAK ports come from the
factory with covers that must be removed before installing transceivers or cables.
XPAK port LEDs are located to the left of their respective ports and provide port
login and activity status.
Figure 2-3 Fibre Channel Ports
The SANbox 5802V switch comes from the factory as a 12-port switch, enabling
SFP ports 0–7 and XPAK ports 20–23. You can activate additional SFP ports and
upgrade the XPAK ports to 20-Gbps with the purchase of license keys. For more
information, refer to “Feature Licensing” on page 3-5.
