|
|
Extended distance donor buffer credit allocation
|
- Each 1, 2, 4 and 10 Gb port is supported by a data buffer with a 16 credit base capacity (that is, 16 maximum sized frames)
- Longer distances can be spanned at full bandwidth on 1, 2, 4 or 10 Gb ports by extending buffer credits to G_Ports, F_Ports and E_Ports (see table)
- Each 1, 2, 4 or 10 Gb port on an I/O blade can donate up to 15 of their 16 base buffer credits which a recipient port on the same I/O blade can borrow
- The recipient port also loses a single base buffer credit in the process
|
|
|
Maintenance Panel
|
- Dual redundant Maintenance Panel EPROMs maintain chassis-specific information (such as WWN, SNMP System Object Id, Serial Number, Part Number, etc.), alternate Ethernet management interface ports and LED summary status information for the switch
