Flexport
Edge Switches can be purchased at a discount with all Fibre Channel ports
disabled. The optional Flexport feature is a hardware port expansion kit that lets
you upgrade switch capacity on demand in eight-port increments. Flexport kits are
available to upgrade the:
■
Edge Switch 2/32 from 16 to 24 ports, or from 24 to 32 ports.
■
Edge Switch 2/24 from 8 to 16 ports, or from 16 to 24 ports.
Each port expansion kit includes eight SFP optical transceivers and upgrade
instructions.
To enable the added port capacity through the Element Manager, a feature key
must be purchased and installed through the Configure Feature Key dialog box.
There are no other configuration options in HAFM or Element Manager for this
feature.
