Software
The DB610S FC SAN Switch comes standard with the following software features (based on Fabric OS
version 8.1):
Advanced Fabric Services
Full Fabric mode: Enables high performance 16 Gb or 32 Gb switching in multi-switch fabric.
Advanced Zoning (default zoning, port/WWN zoning, broadcast zoning)
Dynamic fabric provisioning (DFP): Fabric-assigned port World Wide Names (FA-PWWNs).
Dynamic path selection (DPS): Distributes input traffic across multiple paths proportionally to
the bandwidth of each path.
Dynamic load sharing (DLS): Distributes traffic across multiple equal paths between
switches.
Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF)
Buffer-to-Buffer (BB) credit flow control
Buffer credit recovery
Forward error correction (FEC)
Fabric Device Management Interface (FDMI)
Frame order delivery
Frame redirection
FC login services
Registered State Change Notification (RSCN)
Reliable Commit Service (RCS)
Simple Name Server (SNS)
Fibre Channel Authentication Protocol (FCAP) switch authentication
Management Server (MS): Assists in the auto-discovery of switch-based fabrics.
Adaptive Networking
Traffic isolation zoning (TIZ): Creates a dedicated path for traffic flowing from a specific set
of source ports (F_Ports).
Quality of Service (QoS): SID/DID pair traffic prioritization (high, medium, low).
Virtualization
N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV): Enables a single FC port to appear as multiple, distinct ports
with separate port identification within the fabric.
Access Gateway: Leverages NPIV to connect to any fabric without adding switch domains to
reduce management complexity.
