Interoperability
This section includes information about interoperability.
Switch interoperability
The 2109 Model F16 switch supports both 1 Gbps and 2 Gbps transmit and receive
rates with auto-negotiation. The actual data signaling rate that is used on a port is
automatically sensed and is set to the rate that is supported by a device or devices
that are attached to the port. The 2109 Model F16 has been tested and is compliant
with the current Fibre Channel standards. The 2109 Model F16 is compatible with
most current-generation switches N_ports, NL_ports, and E_ports, as well as host
adapters, Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) storage devices, hubs, and
Fibre-SCSI bridge devices, including the 3534 and 2109 series of switches.
Implementation in existing environments
Because the 2109 Model F16 switch has a compatible 1 Gbps auto-negotiated
signaling rate on each port, you can use it as a replacement for current 3534 and
2109 series switches. As newer technology is added to existing systems that
support 2 Gbps signaling, the ports can accept these devices and interoperate with
existing 1 Gbps devices. If the 2109 Model F16 is connected to a third-party device
but is unable to negotiate the signaling rate, the 2109 Model F16 allows you to
manually set the speed of each port through the management interfaces.
Host bus adapter interoperability

Reliability and serviceability
This section includes information about reliability and serviceability for the 2109
Model F16.
Reliability
The 2109 Model F16 switch provides the following features to ensure reliability:
v
POST
v
Error detection and fault isolation (internal and external cyclic redundancy check
(CRC) checking, parity checking, checksum, and illegal address checking)
v
Continuous monitoring of environmental components (fan status and
temperature)
v
DC power in proper range monitoring
v
Low component count
