Intel® Server Switch Module SBCEFCSW: Installation Guide
Specifications and features
This section provides a summary of the specifications and features for your switch module.
Your switch module has the following features:
• Simple name server implementation
The simple name server is implemented as described in Fibre Channel Generic Services (FC-GS-3). The
simple name server requests and responses are based on the Common Transport Interface (CTI) as
described in FC-GS-3. Name server database objects are defined as follows:
— Native Port Identifier (P_ID)
— Port Name (PN)
— Node Name (NN)
— Class of Service (CoS)
— Internet protocol (IP) Address (IP_A)
— Initial Process Associator (IPA)
— FC-4 Types (Type) and Port Type (PT)
— Symbolic Port Name (SPN)
— Symbolic Node Name (SNN)
• Security
The switch module provides fabric security and interswitch link security. Fabric security controls
management access to the fabric. When fabric security is enabled on all switches in the fabric, you must
provide a user name and password to access the fabric. Security is disabled by default.
• Firmware installation
Use the SAN Utility application to install and activate new firmware.
• Registered State Change Notification (RSCN)
The switch module supports RSCN as described in FC-FLA. RSCN enables an agent to register for
change events in the fabric and attached devices.
• Interoperability
The switch module is interoperable with FC-SW-2 compliant switches.
For more information, see the Intel
®
Switch Interoperability Guide.
• Error detection
The switch module supports the following error detection methods:
— Cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
— 8-byte and 10-byte conversion
— Parity
— Long frame and short frame
— D_ID mismatch
— S_ID mismatch
• Frame bundling
The switch module provides the following frame bundling methods:
— No frame bundling - Intermix frames from different sources at will.
— Soft lockdown - Soft lockdown causes the switch module to wait for either the sequence to be
completed or a gap in the frame traffic to occur before servicing requests from a different port.
