OSA-Express3 10 GbE

OSA-Express3 10 Gigabit Ethernet LR

The OSA-Express3 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) long reach (LR) feature has two ports. Each port resides on a PCIe adapter and has its own channel path identifi er (CHPID). There are two PCIe adapters per feature. OSA-Express3 10 GbE LR is designed to support attachment to a 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) Ethernet Local Area Net- work (LAN) or Ethernet switch capable of 10 Gbps. OSA-Express3 10 GbE LR supports CHPID type OSD exclusively. It can be defi ned as a spanned channel and can be shared among LPARs within and across LCSSs.

OSA-Express3 10 Gigabit Ethernet SR

The OSA-Express3 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) short reach (LR) feature has two ports. Each port resides on a PCIe adapter and has its own channel path identifi er (CHPID). There are two PCIe adapters per feature. OSA-Express3 10 GbE SR is designed to support attachment to a 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) Ethernet Local Area Net- work (LAN) or Ethernet switch capable of 10 Gbps. OSA-Express3 10 GbE SR supports CHPID type OSD exclusively. It can be defi ned as a spanned channel and can be shared among LPARs within and across LCSSs.

OSA-Express3 Gigabit Ethernet LX

The OSA-Express3 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) long wave- length (LX) feature has four ports. Two ports reside on a PCIe adapter and share a channel path identifi er (CHPID). There are two PCIe adapters per feature. Each port sup- ports attachment to a one Gigabit per second (Gbps) Eth- ernet Local Area Network (LAN). OSA-Express3 GbE LX supports CHPID types OSD and OSN. It can be defi ned as a spanned channel and can be shared among LPARs within and across LCSSs.

OSA-Express3 Gigabit Ethernet SX

The OSA-Express3 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) short wave- length (SX) feature has four ports. Two ports reside on a PCIe adapter and share a channel path identifi er (CHPID). There are two PCIe adapters per feature. Each port sup- ports attachment to a one Gigabit per second (Gbps) Eth- ernet Local Area Network (LAN). OSA-Express3 GbE SX supports CHPID types OSD and OSN. It can be defi ned as a spanned channel and can be shared among LPARs within and across LCSSs.
