Technical Specifications for the Protocol Analyzer Application

devices
Memory Size
1 GB per analyzer (2 GB per module)
The Protocol Analysis software application helps you passively
monitor the communication between 2 or more Fibre Channel
devices. With effective presentation, the protocol analysis applica-
tion helps you quickly understand what is being communicated and
the exact timing of the communication between the multiple devices
on the network.
Using the Protocol Analysis software, each analyzer is able to
capture relevant information by combining a deep trace and an intu-
itive dual channel, state based triggering and filtering engine. The
application also contains Agilent unique features such as Easy Flow
visualization, comprehensive decoding, extensive pattern libraries,
drag and drop functionality, helping you quickly find the root cause
of problems.
Features of the Protocol Analysis Application include:
• Dual Channel, Multi-state triggering engine – ensures the
problem event is actually captured
• Easy Flow visualization – graphically depicts the precise time
and flow of information through multiple analyzers
• Context Sensitive Columns – displays only relevant protocol field
to maximize understanding the protocol interaction
• Multi-protocol platform – provides cross correlation to other
protocols in the same platform
SAN Director Tester
The Agilent Technologies 1733L SAN director tester simplifies the
testing of director-class switches in QA and manufacturing environ-
ments. Now you can easily generate I/O traffic to test the perfor-
mance and availability of your director switches while lowering your
overall cost of test.
Existing test methods of using a large number of PC con-
trollers, or a “wall of PCs”, to generate I/O traffic to stress the direc-
tor switch has a number of limitations, including lack of centralized
control, unable to scale and cost considerations in terms of power
and space consumption.
The 1733L SAN Director Tester is small and compact. With
realistic Fibre channel 4 Gb/s traffic generation and real time mea-
surements on all 128 ports, and by providing a centralized multi-
port control panel the 1733L SAN director tester simplifies test
setup, execution and analysis, resulting in faster test completion.
