McDATA Sphereon Fibre Channel Switch Model 4300
The McDATA Sphereon 4300 Fabric Switch (2034-212) is designed to offer from 4 to 8 to 12 non-blocking
ports, providing 1 and 2 Gbps Fibre Channel ports utilizing industry standard-based auto-sensing and
auto-negotiating operation with Fabric and Public Loop attached devices. The optional Full Fabric
Activation feature enables support for ISL and full bandwidth extended distance operation up to 10 km at
2 Gbps, when configured with optional Longwave (LW) Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver,
which can be placed in any available active port on the McData Sphereon 4300 that has already been
enabled for use in the base or through FlexPort activation.
The McDATA Sphereon 4300 Fabric Switch (2034-212) base functionality includes zoning support,
SANpilot Web-browser based management tool, McData HotCAT non disruptive micro-code firmware
update capability, and McData FlexPort support.
