EMC DS-16B Performance, Manageability, Unit may be managed in band or out of band via Telnet, via

Introduction

• Reliable – Highly integrated, reliable, multifunction (ASIC) devices are used throughout the switch.

• High performance – Low-latency, high-performance design resulting in a worst-case data-transfer latency of less than two microseconds from any port at peak Fibre Channel performance of 100 MB/sec. The latency may differ when the destination or device is a loop.

• Automated congestion management – Virtual channels lets the

switch use sophisticated congestion management techniques that are performed automatically by the switch.

	• Cascading – You can cascade switches for large Fabric support.
	Up to 32 switches can be interconnected for a large Fabric with
	hundreds of Fabric connections.
	• Universal – DS-16B switch ports are designed to support F, FL and
	E-port modes of operation with the software selecting the
	optimum mode of operation.
Performance	A minimum aggregate routing capacity of 4,000,000 frames/sec is
	specified for Class 2, Class 3, and Class F frames. Non-blocking
	throughput of up to 8 x 100MBytes/sec (0.8 GBytes/sec) is provided.
	A maximum switch latency of less than two microseconds is specified
	for Class 2, Class 3, and Class F frames when the output port is free.
Manageability	The unit may be managed in band or out of band via Telnet, via
	SNMP, via SES or via the Web by connecting to the 10/100BaseT
	Ethernet port.
