SFP Properties panel
A
SFP Properties panel
The SFP Properties panel enables you to display the properties that are associated with a selected
small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver.
NOTE
Brocade 804 mezzanine cards connect to the embedded switch modules or embedded interconnect
modules on the Blade System chassis by way of an internal backplane and therefore, no optical
modules (SFPs) are involved. With the exception of no SFPs, the Brocade 804 mezzanine FC HBA
card functions the same as the other Brocade HBAs.
Opening the properties panel
1. Select a port in the device tree.
2. Click the SFP tab in the right pane.
NOTE
Only Brocade-branded SFPs are supported with the 8 Gbps FC HBA.
Fields and components
Field Description
Port Technology
SFP Supported The name of the supported SFP.
Connector Type The type of port connector; for example, LC. SC, or Cu (copper cable).
Transceiver The type of transceiver; for example, XFP or GBIC.
Media The type of media for the transceiver; for example, single mode.
Speed The port speed. Options for the 8 Gbps HBA (825 and 815) are
2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, and 8 Gbps (1 Gbps not supported). Port speed
options for the 4 Gbps HBA (425 and 415) and the mezzanine card
(804) are 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, and 8 Gbps.
Extended Information
Identifier The identifier for the extended link.
Encoding Displays how the extended link is encoded, for example, 8B10B.
Baud Rate The transmission rate, roughly equivalent to the number of bits per
second.
Length 9u The length of the single-mode fiber optic cable, used in situations
where gigabit performance is not required (for distances greater
than 100 meters).
Length 50u The length of the fiber optic cable (for distances greater than 10
meters).
Length 62.5u The length of the fiber optic cable (for distances greater than 10
meters).
