3 – Planning Performance

A zoning database is maintained on each switch. Table 3-1describes the zoning database limits, excluding the active zone set.

	Table 3-1. Zoning Database Limits
Limit		Description
MaxZoneSets		Maximum number of zone sets (256).
MaxZones		Maximum number of zones (2000).
MaxAliases		Maximum number of aliases (2500).
MaxTotalMembers		Maximum number of zone and alias members (10000) that
		can be stored in the zoning database. Each instance of a
		zone member or alias member counts toward this maximum.
MaxZonesInZoneSets		Maximum number of zones that are components of zone
		sets (2000), excluding the orphan zone set. Each instance of
		a zone in a zone set counts toward this maximum.
MaxMembersPerZone		Maximum number of members in a zone (2000).
MaxMembersPerAlias		Maximum number of members in an alias (2000)

Performance

NOTE: This document refers to ports 0–15 as 1/2/4-Gbps ports for convenience though SANbox 5200 series switches do not support 4-Gbps transmission.

The SANbox 5000 Series switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service at transmission rates of 1-, 2-, 4-, or 10-Gbps with a maximum frame size of 2148 bytes. A 1/2/4-Gbps port adapts its transmission speed to match that of the device to which it is connected prior to login when the connected device powers up. 10-Gbps ports transmit at 10-Gbps.
