DATA SHEET

• High-speed backbone for multiple switches—When you’re ready,

simply turn on the plug-and-play stacking ports for the quickest, most

cost-effective way to set up a multiswitch SAN. Only QLogic offers

industry-standard 10Gb Fibre Channel ISLs on both core and edge

switches—you’ll never need to unplug a device cable or disrupt a

device, no matter how large your fabric grows. Scalability “best

practices” are built into the QLogic 5600Q architecture!

Easy to Install and Manage

• Installation and configuration wizards—From basic switch setup

to advanced zoning and extended distance configuration, the QLogic

5600Q has automated routines to make deployment a snap. Installation

is a three-step, point-and-click process. Self-configuring switch ports

automatically adjust to 4Gb or 2Gb device speeds.

• On-board GUI—No software to load. Just point a web browser at

any switch and manage the entire fabric from that location. No matter

what your level of expertise, the web-based QuickTools interface has

everything you need for basic fabric management. For advanced

administration of larger SANs, the optional Enterprise Fabric Suite

application provides an unprecedented level of intuitive control.

• Stack Management—With Enterprise Fabric Suite, you can manage

stacks of 5000 Series products as a single device, loading firmware,

applying security changes, and handling user and SNMP administration

for up to six switches simultaneously.

Fast, Reliable 4Gbps/10Gbps Performance

QLogic 5600Q products provide uncontested full-duplex bandwidth at every

port. That’s 136Gbps for device ports, plus 102Gbps on the ISL ports—a

total of 238Gb of bandwidth per switch! Plus, thanks to the QLogic 10Gb

backbone, ISL bandwidth expands automatically as network capacity

grows, ensuring a consistent user experience.

• Nonblocking, full bandwidth architecture—238Gb of bandwidth

per switch. Dedicated 10Gb ISL transport makes it easier to create

nonblocking multiswitch configurations.

• Adaptive Trunking—No extra cost or complicated license schemes.

This built-in QLogic-exclusive trunking feature optimizes ISL usage and

performance by pooling the capacity of multiple 10Gb or 4Gb links in

a single high-bandwidth pipeline. Trunks are automatically employed

as needed, eliminating the need for manual configuration. Unlike other

trunking implementations, trunked ports do not need to be sequential,

and can even be spread across multiple switches. The industry-standard

switch-on-exchange method supports intelligent path selection (IPS),

fabric shortest path first (FSPF), and virtual trunking.

A variety of reliability features make the QLogic 5600Q switch capable of

delivering overall system availability greater than 99.999 percent.

• I/O StreamGuard for RSCN suppression—Guaranteed uninterrupted

bandwidth for time-sensitive applications such as video streaming and

tape backups.

• Hardware-enforced zoning by WWN

• Hot-swappable dual power supply option

• Non-disruptive code load activation (NDCLA)

Powerful, Intuitive Software

QLogic implements the same code base for the entire QLogic product line,

including the popular QLogic 9000 Series Stackable Chassis Switch. Not

only are QLogic products backward and forward compatible, you’ll only

need to learn one set of management tools:

• QuickTools (included)—Embedded Java

web applet for device

discovery, device management, zoning, and fabric management.

QuickTools includes the Configuration Wizard and QLogic’s exclusive

drag-and-drop zoning—the industry’s most intuitive zoning method.

• Fabric Security (included)—Provides the right mix of protection

features for user, connection, and device security. The 5600Q supports

remote authentication dial in-user service (RADIUS), and SSH and SSL

encryption. Device connection security conforms to the Fibre Channel

Security Protocol (FC-SP), DH-CHAP, and FC-GS-4 CT.

• Enterprise Fabric Suite (optional)—Control software costs while

managing the SAN your way with unprecedented precision. Enterprise

Fabric Suite bundles high-value enterprise features in a single site-

licensed package, including Fabric Tracker, Performance View, Port

Threshold Alarms, Stack Management, and the mPort™ technology

movable port activation. You’ll spend less time and money licensing

individual features and worrying about “balloon payment” per-switch

fees as your SAN grows.

• SANdoctor (optional)—Comprehensive set of diagnostic tools for

troubleshooting problems in your fabric. SANdoctor includes SFP digital

diagnostics, Fibre Channel trace route, and Fibre Channel ping.

Interoperability

• Fully compatible with other QLogic switches—Mix and match in

stacks with all 5000 Series products (2Gb or 4Gb). As always, QLogic’s

management tools are 100-percent backward compatible with full

support for previous-generation switches.

• Interoperable with all major storage, server, application,

and infrastructure vendors—QLogic products are designed for

heterogeneous operating system environments including Windows

UNIX

, Linux

, AIX

, MacOS

, Solaris

and others. SNMP, an API, and

the SMI-S agent are supported for integration into popular third-party

management applications.

• Virtualization Support—N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV) support

comes standard with the QLogic 5600Q, allowing full integration and

interoperability with applications such as VMWare

and hardware such

as the IBM

Intelligent Pass-thru Module and the HP

VC-FC Blade

Switch Modules. Only QLogic delivers end-to-end NPIV support on

adapters and switches.
