Description

High-density 32G Fibre Channel SAN switch with 48 ports active (96-port chassis), supplied with 32G FC SFP optics and port-side intake airflow. Delivers line‑rate 32G FC on active ports with backward compatibility to 16G/8G (with appropriate optics), plus core SAN features such as VSANs, zoning, NPIV, and analytics under NX-OS.

Features

- 48x 32G FC active ports in a 96-port chassis for scalable growth
- Includes 32G FC SR SFP optics for immediate deployment
- Port-side intake airflow aligns with cold-aisle/front‑to‑back cooling
- Line-rate 32G FC throughput with low latency
- Enterprise SAN features: VSANs, zoning, NPIV/NPV, slow-drain mitigation
- Redundant, hot-swappable power and fans for high availability
- Flexible ISL design—any port can be used as an uplink

FAQs

Q: How many ports are enabled out of the box?
A: 48 ports are active on delivery; the chassis supports up to 96 ports with additional licenses.

Q: Are SFPs included?
A: Yes. 32G Fibre Channel SR SFPs are included for the active ports as specified.

Q: What does port-side intake airflow mean?
A: Cool air enters at the port side and exhausts at the PSU side—ideal for cold-aisle at the port face.

Q: Is it compatible with 16G FC hosts and storage?
A: Yes, it supports 16G/8G interoperability when the corresponding optics are used.

Q: Does this switch support stacking?
A: No traditional stacking; use Fibre Channel ISLs and port-channels for scale and redundancy.
