The switch includes the following features:

Ability to perform initial setup, including setting up the switch's Internet Protocol

(IP) address from the front panel controls.

GBIC modules support fiber and copper transmission media. The switch's modu-

lar construction gives the switch a range of flexibility in creating, upgrading,

maintaining, and configuring a fabric.

Integrated multifunction application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) devices are

used throughout the switch.

Design does not require microprocessor data path interaction, resulting in a

worst-case data transfer latency of less than 2 microseconds from any port to

any port at peak Fibre Channel bandwidth of 100 megabytes per second (MB/

sec). The latency may differ when the destination or device is a loop.

Virtual channels allow the switch to use congestion management techniques that

are performed automatically by the switch.

The switch's firmware allows discovery of all connected devices and determines

optimum data paths without intervention.

The switch interoperates with the PowerVault 51F . If compatibility mode is

enabled on the PowerVault 56F switch, it can also interoperate with the

PowerVault 50F .

Switch ports support E_Port, F_Port, and FL_Port modes of operation with the

software selecting the optimum mode of operation.

A minimum aggregate routing capacity of 8,000,000 frames per second is specified

for Class 2, Class 3, and Class F frames. Non-blocking throughput of up to

16 by 100 MB/sec end-to-end is provided.

A maximum switch latency of less than two microseconds is specified for Class 2,

Class 3, and Class F frames when the output port is free.
