Ports Per Chassis |
8 - 64 universal ports, populated in 8-port increments
Optional backplane interconnect module links two chassis
for total of 128 non-blocking ports
|
Multi-switch Fabrics |
Supports all topologies, including: cascade, cascaded loop, mesh and Multistage
Supports multiple links between switches
In-order delivery of frames in all multi-switch and multi-link configurations
|
Fabric Port Types
|
All ports can assume the following states:
F_port: Fabric
FL_port: Fabric loop (public
loop)
E_port: Switch-to-switch
TL_port: Translative mode
(private-to-
public/public-to-private bridging)
SL_port: Segmented mode (Segment
private loops for reduced arbitration. Allows switch to replace
and improve on the
performance of a hub)
All ports are auto-discovering, self-configuring
