View dynamic graphs that display performance data for each On Line port on
the selected chassis. The performance data is only recorded during the time
period when an application window that monitors the performance data is
open. When the monitoring window is closed, the recording of performance
data stops. Performance data includes:
-
Frames In
-
Frames Out
-
Frames Dropped
-
Errors
•
Record statistics such as data rate and errors and save the data in files that are
compatible with spreadsheet applications.

•
Perform Trace operations to follow selected operations through the selected
chassis
•

•
Divide the fabric ports into zones for more efficient and secure communica-
tion among functionally grouped nodes. There are several types of zones and
a port may be defined in several of them simultaneously.
-
Hard Zones:
(MK II only) follow physical boundaries within a Single-Stage Switch
chassis and limit the communication of a port to only other ports in the
same Hard Zone. There may be as many as four Hard Zones and a
particular port may be in only one of them.
(SANbox only) can be comprised of individual ports from a number of
switches. Communications will only occur between ports in the defined
hard zone. As many as 16 hard zones may be defined in a single fabric.
-
Broadcast Zones allow the division of the fabric into as many as 16
zones that define the area of Broadcasts. A particular port may be
placed in one or more of these Broadcast Zones. A port will broadcast
to all ports in the same Broadcast Zone (or zones) in-which the port is
defined. If Hard Zones are enabled, Broadcast Zones may not cross the
defined Hard Zone boundaries.
