Introduction to McDATA Multi-Protocol Products 1 SAN router ports operate as follows: • Two user-configured FCP (FIBRE CHANNEL 1 and 2) ports provide 1.0625 Gbps Fibre Channel storage connectivity using SFP port connectors. FCP ports can be configured for: - Auto negotiation (FC-Auto) operation. This is the default selection. - Fabric loop port (FL_Port) for public loop device connectivity, fabric port (F_Port) for fabric device connectivity, loop port (L_Port) for private loop device connectivity, or router port (R_Port) for SAN routing operation. • Two user-configured intelligent (ETHERNET 3 and 4) ports provide both FCP and IP network connectivity. Each intelligent port provides two connectors (SFP or RJ-45). Connectivity through the connector pair is mutually exclusive; only one connector can be used. Intelligent ports can be configured for: - FCP storage connectivity at 1.0625 Gbps, using only the SFP port connector. The ports support FC-Auto, FL_Port, F_Port, L_Port, and R_Port operation. - IP network connectivity (iFCP or iSCSI protocol) at up to full-duplex 100 Base-T Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) port transmission speed, using only the RJ-45 port connector. Refer to Intelligent Port Speed for detailed information. - IP network connectivity (iFCP or iSCSI protocol) at up to full-duplex GbE (1,000 Mbps) port transmission speed, using only the SFP port connector. Refer to Intelligent Port Speed for detailed information. For SFP port connectors, shortwave laser transceivers are available for transferring data over multimode fiber-optic cable. Longwave laser transceivers are available for transferring data over singlemode fiber-optic cable. Fiber-optic cables attach to port transceivers with duplex LC connectors. SFP port transceivers are the only SAN router FRUs. The SAN router has two power supplies and eight cooling fans that are not FRUs. Introduction to McDATA Multi-Protocol Products 1-23
