Fibre Channel Ports

Switch mode (default): Minimum of 24 ports and maximum of 64 ports. Ports are enabled in increments of 8 ports up to 64 ports via Ports on Demand (PoD) licenses; E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, D_Ports, and EX_Ports.
• Up to 48 autosensing ports that support 32Gb or 64Gb SFP+ transceivers
• Up to 8 double density (DD) ports that support either SFP+ (32Gb or 64Gb) transceivers for a single connection, or SFP-DD transceivers that each support two 64G connections, thus providing an additional 16 ports at 64Gb.
Access Gateway default port mapping: 56x SFP+ F_Ports, 8x SFP+ N_Ports.
The SFP+ ports are capable of auto-negotiating to 8, 16, 32, or 64Gb speeds depending on the SFP+ model and the minimum supported speed of the optical transceiver at the other end of the link.

Scalability

Full-fabric architecture with a maximum of 239 switches

Certified Maximum

4K active nodes; 56 switches, 19 hops in Brocade Fabric OS® fabrics
