Fibre Channel Ports

128 ports (96 64G SFP+ ports, plus 16 2x64G SFP-DD ports), each supporting E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, D_Ports, and EX_Ports.
48-port base configuration; additional ports are enabled with two 24-port SFP+ PODs (Ports on Demand), plus a 32-port SFP-DD POD (16 2x64G SFP-DD transceivers), scaling the switch from 48 ports to 128 ports. The SFP+ ports are capable of auto-negotiating to 8, 16, 32, or 64G speeds depending on the SFP+ model and the minimum supported speed of the optical transceiver at the other end of the link.
