Fibre Channel port specifications
The Fibre Channel ports in the Brocade 7800 are compatible with SWL, LWL, and ELWL SFP
transceivers. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of transceiver in use.
The ports meet all required safety standards. For more information about these standards, see
“Regulatory compliance” on page 35.
The ports are capable of operating at 1-, 2-, 4-, or 8-Gbps and are able to auto-negotiate to the
maximum link speed.
GbE port specifications
The GbE ports in the Brocade 7800 are compatible with short range (SR) and long range (LR)
copper or optical SFP transceivers. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of
transceiver in use.
The 10 GbE ports are optical only.
The ports meet all required safety standards. For more information about these standards, see
“Regulatory compliance” on page 35.
The GbE ports are capable of operating at 1-Gbps. The 8 virtual FCIP Fibre Channel links over each
physical GbE connection share this bandwidth.
Serial port specifications
The serial port is located on the port side of the Brocade 7800. The switch uses an RJ-45
connector for the serial port. An RJ-45 to DB9 adaptor is also provided with the Brocade 7800.
NOTE
To protect the serial port from damage, keep the cover on the port when not in use.
The serial port can be used to connect to a workstation to configure the Brocade 7800 IP address
before connecting the switch to a fabric or IP network. The serial port’s parameters are fixed at
9600 baud, 8 data bits, and no parity, with flow control set to None.
