What is the switching capacity?

The switch provides 128 Gbit/s full duplex non-blocking capacity, ensuring sustained 4 Gb full-duplex throughput without congestion. This architecture scales to core-edge infrastructures as defined in the SAN Design Guide.

Is it rack-mountable and what is the form factor?

Yes, it is a rack-mountable 1U unit with dimensions approximately 428 mm width, 307 mm depth, and 42 mm height, weighing 4 kg. Ideal for dense data center deployments with standard 19-inch rack compatibility.

How is the switch managed?

Manageable via web-based tools, zoning, SNMP, Telnet, HTTP, and CLI. Includes hardware-enforced zoning for security and console ports (RS-232 DB9/RJ-45) for local access, simplifying administration.

What Fibre Channel standards does it support?

Supports auto-sensing 1/2/4 Gb/s Fibre Channel with Gigabit Ethernet standard and coaxial media compatibility. Fully non-blocking design delivers high performance for entry-level to enterprise SANs.

Does it support SAN scalability?

Yes, scales to full SAN configurations per SAN Design Guide, with stacking ports and optional software like Fabric Watch for monitoring health, performance, security, and manageability in growing fabrics.
