Multiple E-Port Connectivity - complete package

The Multiple E-Port Connectivity Option enables all ports on the SAN Switch 8-EL, which delivers the same robust functionality found in Compaq's 8-port SAN switch in a new, cost reduced, entry- level package, to function as either device connections or as switch to switch (E-Port) connections for seamless integration with other Fibre Channel SAN switches. In its base configuration only one of the ports on the SAN Switch 8-EL can be configured as an E-Port. The Multiple E-port Connectivity enables the remaining seven ports on the switch to be configured as E-ports.
