32-Port 2-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module
The 32-port 2-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module can be used to allocate bandwidth optimally. The
module is organized into eight four-port groups. Only the first port in each four-port group can be an
ISL. If the first port is an ISL, the other three ports in the group are disabled. The four ports within a port
group share a single internal channel resulting in a subscription ratio of approximately 3.2:1. The 32-port
2-Gbps switching module provides more ports at a lower price per port.
