v
Universal ports self-configure as E, F, M, or D ports. EX_Ports can be activated
on a per port basis with the optional Integrated Routing license
– Diagnostic Port (D-Port) feature provides physical media diagnostic,
troubleshooting and verification services
v
In-flight data compression and encryption on up to two ports provides efficient
link utilization and security
v
Virtual Fabric support to improve isolation between different VFs
v
Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) service, available with the optional Integrated
Routing license provides improved scalability and fault isolation
v
Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking (licensable), which allows up to eight ports (at
2, 4, 8, or 16 Gbps speeds) between a pair of switches combined to form a single,
logical ISL with a speed of up to 128 Gbps (256 Gbps full duplex) for optimal
bandwidth utilization and load balancing
v
Dynamic Path Selection (DPS), which optimizes fabric-wide performance and
load balancing by automatically routing data to the most efficient available path
in the fabric
v
SFP+ optical transceivers that support any combination of Short Wavelength
(SWL) and Long Wavelength (LWL) or Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL)
optical media among the switch ports
v
Extended distance support enables native Fibre Channel extension up to 7,500
km at 2 Gbps
v
Support for unicast, multicast (255 groups), and broadcast data traffic types
v
Fabric OS, which delivers distributed intelligence throughout the network and
enables a wide range of value-added applications including Advanced Web
Tools and Zoning. Optional Fabric Services include: Adaptive Networking with
QoS, Extended Fabrics, Enhanced Group Management, Fabric Watch, ISL
Trunking, and End-to-End Performance Monitoring (APM)
v
Support for Access Gateway configuration where server ports connected to the
fabric core will be virtualized
v
Hardware zoning is accomplished at the port level of the switch and by World
Wide Name (WWN). Hardware zoning permits or denies delivery of frames to
any destination port address
v
Extensive diagnostics and system-monitoring capabilities for enhanced high
Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)
v
10G Fibre Channel integration on the same port provides for DWDM metro
connectivity on the same switch (available on the first eight ports only)
v
EZSwitchSetup wizard that makes SAN configuration a three-step
point-and-click task
v
Real time power monitoring enables users to monitor real time power usage of
the fabric at the switch level
v
Port-to-port latency minimized to 800 nanoseconds through the use of
cut-through frame routing at 16 Gbps
Attention:
This product is not intended to be connected directly or indirectly by
any means whatsoever to interfaces of public telecommunications networks.
Switch components
v
An RJ45 10/100 Base T Ethernet system management port, in conjunction with
EZSwitchSetup, that supports switch IP address discovery and configuration,
eliminating the need to attach a serial cable to configure the switch IP address
and greatly increasing the ease of use
