ISL Trunking
For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to four E-ports to
provide a high bandwidth trunk between two Brocade or HP B-Series switches. Each switch needs its own
license. The fabric operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth ISL resource (up to 16
Gb when routing connections between 4Gb capable switches). Each 24-port switch can have a total of
two 4-port Trunk groups for a total of up to 32 Gb throughput when routing connections between 4Gb
capable switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which comprise the logical
trunk group.
Fabric Watch

Fabric Watch
Fabric Watch enables each switch to monitor the health of the SAN for potential faults-and automatically
alert network managers to problems before they become failures. Fabric Watch tracks a variety of SAN
fabric elements, events, and counters. Monitoring fabric-wide events, ports, SFPs, and environmental
parameters permits early fault detection and isolation as well as performance measurement. Each switch
in the SAN needs its own Fabric Watch license.

Monitoring
This enabling technology helps administrators monitor application data traffic from a SID (Source ID) to a
DID (Destination ID), so they can fine-tune and scale the fabric more efficiently. Plus, Advanced
Performance Monitoring includes the ability for early warning detection of hot spots within the fabric, a
powerful tool for maximizing SAN performance.

Extends the native Fibre-Channel traffic up to 166 km. Extended Fabrics increases the scalability all of
the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs)
beyond the native 10 km distance specified by the Fibre Channel standard.
