HP Intrusion Prevention System S10, L10 manual Supported Topologies, Single Short-Wave Hub Topology

Supported Topologies

Devices such as FC-AL disk arrays and HP system servers that support FC-AL can be connected to the hub in a loop that includes one or more servers. All nodes in the loop must be 1063 Mbps short-wave, non-OFC, FC-AL. The ports connected by a cable must have the same optical transceivers. Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6 show typical hub topologies. For details on supported topologies, contact an HP sales representative.

Single Short-Wave Hub Topology

For the model S10 short-wave hub, Hewlett-Packard recommends 50-micron multimode fiber cable for new installations, but also supports 62.5-micron multimode fiber cable with SC-style connectors in existing installations. Stated distances assume 50-micron multimode cable.

A server with an FC-AL short-wave adapter can connect to an hub 500 meters away. Each of the 10 ports on the short-wave hub can connect to an FC-AL device up to 500 meters away. The maximum distance between the server and the end FC-AL device is 1000 meters (1 km).
