Fibre Channel switch-module standards and protocols (continued):

Fibre Channel protocols:

Fibre Channel service classes: Class 2 and class 3.

Operation modes: Fibre Channel class 2 and class 3, connectionless.

External port type:

F_port.

FL_port.

E_port.

Self-discovery based on switch type U_port, an optional port type.

Internal port type: 2 Gbps is the default setting.

Port characteristics: External ports are automatically detected and self-configuring.

Number of Fibre Channel ports: Two external ports and 14 internal ports.

Scalability: 239 switches maximum depending on your configuration.

Fibre Channel switch-module standards and protocols (continued):

Fibre Channel protocols (continued):

Buffer credits: 16 buffer credits per port

Media type: Small form- factor pluggable (SFP) module

Fabric port speed: 1.0625 or 2.125 Gbps (gigabits per second)

Maximum frame size: 2148 bytes (2112-byte payload)

System processor: PPC405GP

Fabric latency: Less than 2.1 sec from any port to any port at 2 Gbps, cut- through routing

Fabric point-to-point bandwidth: 2 Gbps or 4 Gbps at full duplex

Fabric aggregate bandwidth: 64 Gbps if all 16 ports are running 2 Gbps at full duplex

Nonblocking architecture shared-memory switch to prevent latency
