Read this document so that you are aware of issues or requirements that can impact the installation and operation of the QLogic SANbox 5600 and 5602 FC switch in a Sun SAN.

This document contains the following sections:

Product Features

The QLogic SANbox 5600 and 5602 FC switches are 4-Gbit Fibre Channel switches that offer low price per port connectivity. The base QLogic SANbox 5600 and 5602 FC switch has the following ports:

• Eight 4-Gbit ports enabled initially
• Capability to add ports in 4-port increments up to a maximum of 20 ports
• Four 10-Gbit ISL ports
• Capability to move a currently licensed port to another port. This allows the activation of up to all four 10-Gbit ISL ports with only an eight port license.

Additional QLogic 560x FC switches can be stacked together by using the QLogic SANbox 5600 and 5602 FC switch 10-Gbit ISL ports. QLogic 5200 FC switches can also be included in the stack. Thus, a total of six QLogic 5200 and 560x FC switches can be stacked together to create a maximum of 96 2-Gbit or 4-Gbit ports. (For switch stacking details, refer to the QLogic documentation listed in Related Documentation.)
