FS6700

The FS6700 multilayer fiber switch features incredible cost-effectiveness and offers excellent reliability and flexibility. This powerful, compact rack-mounted switch (1U) offers 12 to 48 FC ports with speeds of up to 16 Gbps.


Key Features
Excellent scalability

Up to 48 auto-negotiation FC ports that supports a speeds of 2/4/8/16 Gbps.

The base switch model comes with 12 ports enabled, and can be upgraded as needed with the 12-port activation license to support configurations of 24, 36, or 48 ports.


Applicable platform for the deployment of mission-critical services

In environments where downtime is intolerable, the FS6700 offers In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU). This means that the system software can be upgraded while the fiber ports are carrying traffic.

The FS6700 includes 2 redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays, PortChannels for Inter-Switch Link (ISL) resiliency, and F-port channeling for resiliency on uplinks from an FS6700 switch operating in NPV mode.


Advanced management features

Offers built-in storage network management and SAN plug-and-play features. All features are available through a Command-Line Interface (CLI).

Supports Power-On Auto Provisioning (POAP) to automate software image upgrades and configuration file installation on newly deployed switches.

Provides intelligent diagnosis, protocol decoding and network analysis tools for enhanced reliability, faster problem resolution, and reduced service costs.


Intelligent network services

Uses virtual SAN (VSAN) technology for hardware-enforced, isolated environments within a physical fabric.

Offers access control lists (ACLs) for hardware-based, intelligent frame processing.
