Introduction to McDATA Multi-Protocol Products 1 - Fibre channel 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. • Four user-configurable intelligent ports (13 through 16) provide IP network connectivity using SFP port connectors. Intelligent ports can be configured for IP network connectivity (iFCP or iSCSI protocol) at up to full-duplex GbE (1,000 Mbps) port transmission speed. Refer to Intelligent Port Speed for detailed information. The SAN router provides a modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs, including: • Redundant power supplies and cooling fans. The SAN router provides two power supplies each with an AC power receptacle, power switch, and two cooling fans (four fans total). • Up to 16 duplex SFP fiber-optic port transceivers. 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 SAN router port transceivers with duplex LC connectors. The SAN router front panel provides an Ethernet LAN connector (10/100), port status LEDs, and a green system status (SYS) LED. The panel also provides a 9-pin DSUB maintenance port (CONSOLE) for connection to a local terminal or remote terminal. Although the port is typically used by authorized maintenance personnel, operations personnel can use the port to configure SAN router network addresses.
