Brand: Lenovo

Product: ThinkSystem DB720S G7 Fibre Channal SAN Switch

Machine type:7D5J

System Architecture:

Fibre Channel Ports:

Switch mode (default): Minimum of 24 ports and maximum of 64 ports. Ports are enabled in increments of 8 ports up to 64 ports via Ports on Demand (PoD) licenses; E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, D_Ports, and EX_Ports.

Up to 48 autosensing ports that support 32Gb or 64Gb SFP+ transceivers

Up to 8 double density (DD) ports that support either SFP+ (32Gb or 64Gb) transceivers for a single connection, or SFP-DD transceivers that each support two 64G connections, thus providing an additional 16 ports at 64Gb.

Access Gateway default port mapping: 56x SFP+ F_Ports, 8x SFP+ N_Ports.

The SFP+ ports are capable of auto-negotiating to 8, 16, 32, or 64Gb speeds depending on the SFP+ model and the minimum supported speed of the optical transceiver at the other end of the link.

Scalability:Full-fabric architecture with a maximum of 239 switches

Certified maximum:4K active nodes; 56 switches, 19 hops in Brocade Fabric OS® fabrics

Performance:

Non-blocking architecture with wire-speed forwarding of traffic:

8GFC: 8.5 Gb/sec line speed, full duplex

10GFC: 10.53Gb/s line speed, full duplex; 10Gb/s optionally programmable to fixed port speed.

16GFC: 14.025 Gb/sec line speed, full duplex

32GFC: 28.05 Gb/sec line speed, full duplex

64GFC: 57.8 Gb/sec line speed, full duplex

Traffic load balancing:

Frame-based ISL Trunking load balances supports up to eight SFP+ ports per ISL trunk; up to 512Gb/s per ISL trunk when using 64Gb/s optics

Dynamic Path Selection (DPS) provides exchange-based load balancing across all available ISLs.

Aggregate bandwidth:4.096 Tb/s

Maximum fabric latency: Latency for locally switched ports is 460 ns (including FEC).

Maximum frame size:2112-byte payload

Frame buffers: 24K per switching ASIC

Classes of service:Class 2, Class 3, Class F (inter-switch frames)

Port types:

D_Port (ClearLink Diagnostic Port), E_Port, EX_Port, F_Port, M_Port

Optional port-type control

Brocade Access Gateway mode: F_Port and NPIV-enabled N_Port

Data traffic types:Fabric switches supporting unicast

Media types:
