What high-availability features are included?

Redundant hot-swap power supplies, N+1 hot-plug fans, hardware zoning, and no single points of failure ensure enterprise reliability. Fabric Watch monitors health, with non-disruptive upgrades and automatic port rerouting for continuous fabric operation.

What software is bundled in the PowerPak?

Includes Fabric Watch, Performance Monitor, Extended Fabric, Remote Switch, and ISL Trunking. These enable zoning, monitoring, long-distance extension beyond 10km, and high-bandwidth trunks up to 8Gb between switches.

What is the form factor and scalability?

1U rackmount chassis supports 32 ports densely, scaling to 384 ports per 42U cabinet and 239 switches per fabric. Non-blocking architecture with 512Gb end-to-end bandwidth and <2.1µs latency handles large enterprise SANs.

How is the switch managed?

Via Telnet, SNMP (FE/FC MIBs), Web Tools, and Fabric Watch over in-band Fibre Channel, Ethernet RJ-45, or serial DB-9 ports. LEDs indicate power, status, and port activity for quick diagnostics.

What performance specs does it offer?

2.125Gb/s full-duplex line speed per port, 64Gb switch throughput, Class 2/3/F services, 2112-byte max frame, and cut-through routing with <2µs latency. Auto-senses 1/2Gb for interoperability.
