Full fabric switch upgrade
The full fabric switch upgrade feature provides connectivity of up to 16 other
switches, Advanced Zoning, and Fabric Watch. Activation keys enable all 16 ports
as universal (F_port, FL_port, or E_port) ports, and enable Advanced Zoning and
Fabric Watch.
v
Advanced Zoning logically groups a SAN fabric into an unlimited number of
secure, private zones. For more information, see the
Brocade Advanced Zoning
User’s Guide
.
v
Fabric Watch is an intelligent fabric monitor, giving each switch the capability to
identify and isolate potential faults, as well as to optimize fabric-wide
performance. For more information, see the
Brocade Fabric Watch User’s Guide
.
Auto-sensing speed negotiation
The 21089 F16 ASIC supports link operation at either 2 Gbps or 1 Gbps.
Auto-sensing negotiation allows easy configuration.
Optional licensed features
For Fabric OS version 3.0.2 or later, there are several optional licensed features to
enhance the Fibre Channel switch.
Performance Bundle
Performance Monitoring
Advanced Performance Monitoring is a comprehensive tool for monitoring
the performance of networked storage resources. This tool helps reduce the
total cost of ownership and over-provisioning while enabling SAN
performance tuning, reporting of service level agreements, and greater
administrator productivity. Advanced Performance Monitoring provides SAN
performance management through an end-to-end monitoring system.
For more information, see the
Brocade Advanced Performance Monitoring
User’s Guide
.
ISL Trunking
Trunking enables traffic to be distributed across available ISLs while still
preserving in-order delivery.
For more information, see the
Brocade ISL Trunking User’s Guide
.
Extended Fabrics
The Extended Fabrics feature extends SAN fabrics beyond the Fibre Channel
standard 10 km. It enables high performance applications over extended distances
for storage consolidation, data protection, disaster tolerance, and data sharing.
Fabric Manager
Fabric Manager provides a GUI that allows you to monitor and manage a fabric
from a standard workstation. Fabric Manager provides high-level information about
all switches in the fabric, launching the Web Tools application when more detailed
information is required. Fabric Manager provides improved performance over Web
Tools alone.
For more information, see the
Brocade Fabric Manager User’s Guide
.
Remote Switch
The Remote Switch feature extends the distance of SAN fabrics by enabling two
Fibre Channel switches to interconnect over an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)
