Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the
Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors
commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you
receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software
or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these
things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you
these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to
certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you
modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a
fee, you must give the recipients all th e rights that you have. You must make sure
that they , to o, receive or can get the source code . And you must show them these
terms so they know their rights.

1 – Introduction
A
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the sof tware, and (2) of fer you
this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the
software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by
others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally , any free p rogram is threatened constan tly by sof tware patent s. W e wish to
avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain paten t
licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made
it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at
all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
General Public License
Terms And Conditions For Copying, Distribution And Modification
1. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms
of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such
program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the
Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter,
translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each
licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered
by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Progra m is
not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made
by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program
does.
2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code
as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you
may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
59265-02 A 1-9
1 – Introduction
General Public License
3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or a ny portion of it, thus
S
forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you
also meet all of these conditions:
a. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or
in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to
be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms
of this License.
c. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive u se in
the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including
an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty
(or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user
how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is
interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your
work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be
reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then
this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you
distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the
distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each
and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your right s to
work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to
control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the
Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a
storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the
scope of this License.
4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1
and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a. Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
1-10 59265-02 A
A
1 – Introduction
General Public License
and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;
or,
b. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give
any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of
the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
c. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only
for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of
the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code
distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that
component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to
copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code,
even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with
the object code.
5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically
terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have
received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you
do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the
Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance
of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
59265-02 A 1-11
1 – Introduction
General Public License
7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement
S
the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
copy , distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipient s' exercise of the
rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
third parties to this License.
or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed
on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a
patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only
way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely
from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose
that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
consequence of the rest of this License.
9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries
either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder
who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of
this License.
10. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
problems or concerns.
1-12 59265-02 A
A
1 – Introduction
General Public License
11. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later
version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
that version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this
License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
12. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make
exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of
promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
13. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS
NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
14. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED
TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER
P ARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS
PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING
ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DA TA OR DATA
BEING RENDERED INACCURA TE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR
THIRD P AR TIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH
ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PAR TY
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use
to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which
everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
59265-02 A 1-13
1 – Introduction
General Public License
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to
the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty;
and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the
full notice is found.
S

Fibre Channel Ports
Fibre Channel Ports
The SANbox 5800V Series switch has twenty Fibre Channel Small Form-Factor
Pluggable (SFP) ports and four Fibre Channel XPAK ports. SFP ports are
numbered 0–19 as shown in Figure 2-3. Each SFP port is served by an SFP
optical transceiver and is capable of 1-, 2-, 4-, or 8-Gbps transmission. SFP ports
are hot-pluggable and can self-discover both the port type and transmission
speed when connected to devices or other switches. The port LEDs are located
above ports 0–9 and below ports 10–19, and provide port lo gin and activity status
information.
The XPAK ports are numbered 20–23 as shown in Figure 2-3. Each XPAK port is
served by an XPAK optical transceiver or an XPAK switch stacking cable. An
XPAK port is capable of 12.75-Gbps transmission or 25.5-Gbps with the optional
license key. XPAK ports are hot-pluggable and can self-discover transmission
speed when connected to devices or other switches. The XPAK switch stacking
cable is a passive cable and transceiver assembly for connecting to other
XP AK-cap able switches. The XPAK ports come with covers that must be removed
before installing transceivers or cables. XPAK port LEDs are located to the left of
their respective ports and provide port login and activity status.

2 – General Description
Fibre Channel Ports
The SANbox 5800V Series switch can be a 12-, 16-, 20-, or 24-port switch. This
means that the four XPAK ports 20–23 are enabled plus varying numbers of SFP
ports. For example, the base 12-port switch enables the four XPAK ports and SFP
ports 0–7. License keys are available from your authorized reseller to enable
additional SFP ports or upgrade the XPAK ports to 20-Gbps. Refer to “Feature
Licensing” on page 3-5 for more information.
You can choose which ports are active using the mPort™ Technology feature in
Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007.
Each port has its own Logged-In LED (L) and Activity LED (A) as shown in
Figure 2-4.
Logged-In LED
Activity LED
Port Logged-In LED (Green)
The Logged-in LED indicates the logged-in or initialization st atus of the conn ected
devices. After successful completion of the POST, the switch extinguishes all
Logged-In LEDs. Following a successful port login, the switch illuminates the
corresponding logged-in LED. This shows that the port is properly connected and
able to communicate with its attached devices. The Logged-In LED remains
illuminated as long as the port is initialized or logged in. If the port connection is
broken or an error occurs that disables the port, the Logged-In LED is
extinguished. Refer to “Logged-In LED Indications” on page 5-7 for more
information about the Logged-In LED.
Logged-In LED Activity LED
Figure 2-4 Port LEDs
Port Activity LED (Green)
The Activity LED indicates that data is passing through the port. Each frame that
the port transmits or receives illuminates this LED for 50 milliseconds. This makes
it possible to observe the transmission of a single frame.

2 – General Description
Fibre Channel Ports
Transceivers
The SANbox 5800V Series switch supports SFP optical transceivers for the SFP
ports and XPAK optical transceivers or XPAK stacking cables for the XPAK ports.
A transceiver converts electrical signals to and from optical laser signals to
transmit and receive data. Duplex fiber optic cables plug into the SFP transceivers
which then connect to the devices. An SFP port is capa ble of transmitting at 1-, 2-,
4-, or 8-Gbps; however, the transceiver must also be capable of delivering at
these rates.
The SFP and XPAK transceivers are hot-pluggable. This means that you can
remove or install a transceiver while the switch is operating without harming the
switch or the transceiver . However, communication with the connected device will
be interrupted. Refer to “Install Transceivers” on page 4-5 for information about
installing and removing SFP and XPAK optical transceivers.
Port Types
SANbox 5800V Series switches support generic ports (G_Port, GL_Port), fabric
ports (F_Port, FL_Port), and expansion ports (E_Port). Switches come from the
factory with all SFP ports configured as GL_Ports. The XPAK ports come from the
factory configured as G_Ports. Generic, fabric, and expansion ports function as
follows:
S
A GL_Port self-configures as an FL_Port when connected to a loop device,
as an F_Port when connected to a single device, or as an E_Port when
connected to another switch. If the device is a single device on a loop, the
GL_Port will attempt to configure first as an F_Port, then if that fails, as an
FL_Port.
A G_Port self-configures as an F_Port when connected to a single device, or
as an E_Port when connected to another switch.
An FL_Port supports a loop of up to 126 devices. An FL_Port can also
configure itself during the fabric login process as an F_Port when connected
to a single device (N_Port).
An F_Port supports a single device.
E_Ports enable you to expand the fabric by connecting SANbox 5800V
Series switches.
SANbox 5800V Series switches self-discover all inter-switch connections. Refer to
“Multiple Chassis Fabrics” on page 3-6 for more information.
