Features
Features of the B-series Fibre Channel switches include:
• Access Gateway Mode —Provides connectivity to B-series or other switch-series fabrics that support
NPV or NPIV. The following B-series Fibre Channel switches support Access Gateway Mode:
Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class, Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class
BladeSystem, HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 4/8 (with 16 ports enabled), 4/16, 8/8 (with 24
ports enabled), 8/24, and 8/40 (with 6.2.0a or later).
• Advanced Performance Monitor —Analyzes resource utilization throughout the fabric.
• Advanced WebTools —Centralizes and simplifies switch management through a browser-based
application.
• Advanced Zoning —Provides secure access control over fabric resources. Uses the switch hardware
to enforce port and WWN zoning.
• Extended Fabrics —Enhances performance for Fibre Channel SAN connectivity for distances
greater than 1 km (8 Gb/s), 2.5 km (4 Gb/s), 5 km (2 Gb/s), and 10 km (1 Gb/s) to improve
disaster recovery operations and ensure business continuity. Extended fabric support for distances
up to 10 km is provided in all B-series switches. For distances greater than 10 km, an Extended
Fabrics license is required. For maximum supported distances based on the link speed, see
“
SAN fabric connectivity and switch interoperability rules ” on page 167.
• Fabric Manager —Centralizes fabric management through a host-based application. This is a
legacy product, currently in sustaining mode only.
• Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM) —Centralizes fabric management through a host-based
nl
application. This is available free for single-fabric management (DCFM Professional), or for purchase
for multiple-fabric management and increased device count (DCFM Professional Plus and DCFM
Enterprise).
NOTE:
See Table 18 through Table 22 for switch models supported with Fabric Manager and DCFM.
