FAS2020 FC Port and license questions

shadowmaster — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:16:57 GMT

Hi,

for some learning on small san boxes I wanted to buy an FAS2020 - I found one with some warranty,preformatted discs, 2x 4GB FC port and 2x ethernet

It comes with these licenses:

CIFS

FCP

HTTP

iSCSI

NFS

SNAPLOCK

SV_Applications_Pri

SyncMirror local

First question - does these licenses allow me to use the integrated ethernet port too for iSCSI, CIFS and NFS? I learned that FCP is the licese for the FC port.

second question: what type of port has this device? IS this FC or SFP+? Pls have a look at the attached image.

Until now I haven't touched such a device, my biggest NAS solution is a Synology DS414 at home... so forgive me with Netapp I am a newbie....

hwu.netapp.com is a good place to look up what's what physically on the systems.

#1 - Yes.

#2 - 0a 0b are the FC ports (check hwu!) and show to be compatiable with sfp - X6539-R6

buy support? There's no getting NetApp support on a 20xx box anymore.

I've mentioned the part # it's a SFP -> LC connector.

332-00333,
AFBR-57R6APZ-NA1,
AFBR-57R6APZ-NA2,
