WS-X6516A-GBIC + Catalyst 6500 + Sup2 = Fibre Channel-Switching ?

Mar 08, 2007 0 Replies

Hi folks,



is it possible to use the combo mentioned above as a fibre channel-switch?



It seems that the WS-X6515A-GBIC and the CWDM-GBIC-XXXX GBICs should support



802.3z which is based on the (layer 1/2) fibre channel-protocol, but that does not neccessarily mean that I can also use this switching module as a pure fibre channel-switch.

Cisco talk about FC explicitely only in their description of the CWDM-SFP-XXX SFP-modules.



Am I completely off track here? What do you think?



Any help and/or hints are highly appreciated.



Thanks in advance and best regards,



Mike D. Njoroge
