Wow, Fibre Channel is still around? Last I heard about it was at a place I used to work where some engineers were involved in a top-secret project to build some kind of FC switch with an embedded TCP stack and web server for remote administration---a big deal in the late '90s! The company closed its doors a few years later, so I figure my NDA has long since expired. I'm out of the loop now on SAN stuff, but since this was about 10 years ago, I would have assumed the technology had been replaced by something newer, faster, etc. > > Specifically can you mix 2Gb and 4Gb SFPs?

Like Ethernet, as long as you have physical plug-to-socket compatibility, everything works but the speed is limited to the "lowest common denominator" of the hardware.
