Chapter

Operating the SAN I/O Module

This chapter describes the operation and interoperability of the SAN I/O Module.

Interoperability

The SAN I/O Module supports interoperability for the following functions:

Port negotiation

The SAN I/O Module has been designed to be highly interoperable. It supports 1 Gbit/sec, 2

Gbit/sec, and 4 Gbit/sec transmit and receive rates with autonegotiation. The actual data signaling

rate used on a port is automatically sensed and set to the rate supported by the device or devices

attached to the port.

If the SAN I/O Module is connected to a device, but is unable to negotiate the signaling rate, the

operator can manually set the speed of each port through the management interfaces.

The SAN I/O Module is compliant with current Fibre Channel standards, including most

current-generation switch N_Ports, NL_Ports, and E_Ports as well as host adapters, Redundant

Array of Independent Disks (RAID) storage devices, hubs, Fibre-SCSI bridge devices, and older

switch families.
