Switched Port Analyzer Menu

The Switched Port Analyzer screen is accessed from the Configuration menu. This screen and its submenus are presented in Chapter 9, “Monitoring Port Traffic”.

CrossLink

A CrossLink connection is used to improve interswitch bandwidth. A CrossLink is used to connect two switches from the CrossFire 8600 series with two to eight links. A CrossLink provides bandwidth of from 32 to 128 Mbps in half-duplex mode, or from 64 to 256 Mbps in full-duplex mode.

Figure 22. Setting up CrossLinks

The CrossLink feature affects other switch features in the following ways:

Half-duplex and full-duplex.A single CrossLink can include a combination of half-duplex and full-duplex connections—for example, a CrossLink containing three ports can have two full-duplex and one half-duplex connections. However, each pair of interconnected ports must both be either half-duplex or full-duplex.

Statistics reporting. Statistics for the CrossLink are displayed for individual ports, not for the CrossLink as a whole. Station addresses are distributed among the ports in the CrossLink. See Chapter 7, “Monitoring the Network with the Console”.

Address filtering. Address filters are automatically added to every port in a CrossLink.
