You can interconnect the switches to create a high port count solution, or you can use them in a dual fabric, high availability topology. v The 2109 Model M12 supports 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps auto-sensing Fibre Channel ports. Trunking technology groups up to four ports together to create high performance 8 Gbps inter-switch links (ISL) trunks between switches.
1 Gbps transmit port has adequate time to empty it. Link distance The 2109 Model M12 operates at up to 10 km (6.21 mi) at both 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps speed settings and supports LWL SFPs and single-mode fiber.
System design overview The 2109 Model M12 is highly available, modular, and scalable. High availability features include: v Redundant CPs and CP hot-swappable replacements v Dual redundant ac input and hot-swappable power supplies in the redundant power subsystem v Hot-swappable blowers in the redundant cooling system...
Availability is designated in terms of 9s. For example, the architecture of the 2109 Model M12 is designed for availability in excess of 99.999%. The high availability software architecture of the 2109 Model M12 provides a common framework for all applications that reside on the system. High availability allows global and local states to be maintained so that any component failure is fully manageable.
Serial port Optical ports Fibre Channel interfaces of the 2109 Model M12 are equipped with an optical port interface that uses an SWL, 780 to 850 nm, or an LWL, 1270 to 1350 nm, laser transmitter. The laser complies with FDA21 CFR (J) Class 1 laser safety requirements.
Blowers are numbered from 1 - 3, from left to right. Rack mounting The mechanical design of the 2109 Model M12 allows rack mounting with either the cable side or the noncable side facing the front of the equipment rack. The chassis fits into a standard 19-inch EIA rack.
The WWN LED card is the neutral location to accommodate the worldwide unique serial ID for each logical switch on the 2109 Model M12. It is an integral part of the chassis. The serial EEPROM device contains multiple serial numbers for identifying the chassis, back plane, and the WWN card itself.
Two detachable line cords provide ac input power to the chassis. dc outputs The 2109 Model M12 uses up to four power supplies. All power supplies are hot-swappable. Two power supplies receive input power from one of the ac inputs.
Partial (See note) Note: A single power cord results in the lack of ac source redundancy. CP blade assembly The CP blade assembly controls the following 2109 Model M12 functions or features: v System initialization v Switch drivers v High availability drivers...
Switch blade assembly The switch blade assembly is a blade in the chassis of the 2109 Model M12. Each switch blade assembly provides 16 external Fibre Channel ports that run at 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps. A full switch consists of up to four switch blade assemblies and provides up to 64 ports in multiples of 16 ports.
Fault monitoring and diagnostics Fault monitoring, diagnostic tests, and system status indicators simplify switch management and ensure the availability of the 2109 Model M12. Diagnostic tests Diagnostic testing occurs in three areas: power-on self test (POST), switch level testing, and manufacturing tests.
Fabric Watch, see the Brocade Fabric Watch User’s Guide. Software features Fabric OS version 4.1 supports the 2109 Model M12. Fabric OS includes all the basic switch and fabric support software as well as optionally licensed software that is enabled by using license keys.
Fabric Manager 4.0 (Feature code 7203) Administers, configures, and maintains fabric switches and SANs with host-based software The following licensed features are included with the 2109 Model M12: v Performance Monitoring Comprehensive tool for monitoring the performance of network storage resources...
