Description

Next‑generation 64G Fibre Channel SAN switch (96-port chassis) with 48 ports active under the PSE Base license and port-side exhaust airflow. Offers 64G/32G/16G FC flexibility (with appropriate optics), advanced SAN services under NX‑OS, and high-availability hardware design for mission‑critical fabrics.

Features

- 48 active 64G FC ports for Gen7 performance with room to scale
- PSE Base license for cost-effective initial deployment
- Port-side exhaust airflow for hot-aisle port orientation
- Backward speed compatibility with 32G/16G optics
- Advanced SAN capabilities under NX-OS (VSANs, zoning, NPIV/NPV)
- Redundant, hot-swappable power and cooling
- Flexible topology via ISLs and port-channel aggregation

FAQs

Q: How many ports are active with PSE Base?
A: 48 ports are active; you can license additional ports up to the full 96.

Q: Are optics included?
A: This PSE Base configuration typically ships without SFPs unless explicitly stated; add 64G/32G/16G FC SFPs as needed.

Q: What airflow direction is used?
A: Port-side exhaust—air moves from the port face toward the PSU side.

Q: Can I connect 32G or 16G FC devices?
A: Yes. Use the corresponding 32G or 16G FC optics to interoperate at those speeds.

Q: Is stacking supported?
A: No traditional stacking; scale using Fibre Channel ISLs with port-channeling.
