Figure 5-5 SANbox-16 Multistage with eight CC chassis

Figure 5-5shows a Multistage Switch built from SANbox-16 chassis. One T_Port on each IO/T chassis (the minimum) connects to each CC chassis. This provides 800 MBytes of bandwidth between each IO/T chassis and failover in case T_Ports or CC chassis fail. Each IO/T chassis distributes the available T_Port access among
