Overview SFP Media Side The front panel of the SAN Switch 2/16 is shown in Figure 1. The front panel houses the Serial port, Ethernet port, fiber optic ports with corresponding LEDs, and the power switch LED. 1 2 6 54 3 SHR-2548A 1 Serial port 2 Ethernet port 3 Optical ports (16) Figure 1: SFP media side 4 Port speed LEDs (16) 5 Port status LEDs (16) 6 Power switch LED Optical Ports All switch ports support full fabric capability. Full fabric allows the Fibre Channel SAN Switch 2/16 to link or cascade to other HP StorageWorks Fibre Channel switches running v2.6x and above, building a highly scalable SAN fabric. The Fibre Channel SAN Switch 2/16 supports F_port, FL_port, and E_port connections and Distributed Name Server (DNS). The ports on the front panel of the SAN Switch 2/16 are color-coded in groups, with four purple ports alternating with four unmarked ports, to indicate which ports can be used in the same ISL trunking group (see "ISL Trunking" on page 21). Each port automatically negotiates to the highest common speed. The ports are capable of operating at 2.125 Gbps or 1.0625 Gbps. Each port conforms to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Fibre Channel, FC-PI specification for Fibre Channel SFP transceivers. 20 SAN Switch 2/16 Version 3.1.x Installation Guide
