What is the performance of this switch?

It provides 544Gbps end-to-end aggregate bandwidth per chassis, fabric latency under 0.2 µs, and supports maximum frame sizes of 2148 bytes. Point-to-point bandwidth is 1700MBps full-duplex on 8Gbps ports, with cut-through routing and non-blocking architecture for high-throughput SAN fabrics.

How scalable is the SANbox 5802V?

Scalable via multi-switch support for stack, cascade, loop, and mesh topologies using multiple 10/20Gbps or 8Gbps ISLs. Features adaptive trunking and intelligent path selection, expandable to 20 ports per switch or 120 in stacks, with always-on 10Gbps stacking ports.

What are the physical and environmental specs?

1U rack-mountable (17 x 1.7 x 20 in, 18 lb), with dual 120W PSUs on 100-240VAC. Operates at 41-104°F (5-40°C), 10-90% humidity, 0-10,000 ft altitude, with vibration 5-500Hz 0.27g and shock 3.5g ratings for datacenter reliability.

What management software is supported?

Includes Enterprise Fabric Suite, SANdoctor for diagnostics, Fabric Security, and QuickTools. Enables zoning by WWN, I/O StreamGuard for bandwidth guarantee, supporting high availability >99.999% in enterprise environments.

Is it compatible with legacy SAN devices?

Yes, all ports auto-negotiate 2/4/8Gbps speeds full-duplex and support public loop, broadcast, FL_Port, GL_Port modes. Stacking ports provide 10Gbps default for early 8Gb migrations with 4Gb/2Gb devices still in use.
