Introduction to McDATA Multi-Protocol Products 1 - 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. The SAN router front panel provides two AC power receptacles, an Ethernet LAN connector (MGMT), port status LEDs, green power supply status (PS 1 and PS 2) LEDs, and a green system status (SYS) LED. The panel also provides a 9-pin DSUB maintenance port (MGMT) 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. Eclipse 2640 SAN Router The Eclipse 2640 SAN Router is a second-generation product that provides metropolitan or extended-distance, multi-protocol fabric connectivity. The primary function of the Eclipse 2640 SAN Router is to implement mSAN and iSAN routing solutions. Figure 1-11 illustrates the SAN router.
