Hardware and Software Features on Standard Models

 

Frame Filtering

An ASIC based capability that enables new applications and features. The switch has the ability to "view" the first 64 bytes of the Fibre Channel frame. At this time, Frame Filtering enables advanced capabilities such as Advanced Zoning.


 

Advanced Zoning

WWN Zoning and Access Control are enforced by hardware that provides the same simple administration previously enforced only with software. Administrators can organize a physical fabric into logical groups and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside the Zone.

Web Tools

Web Tools is an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface that enables organizations to monitor and manage SAN fabrics. Tasks can be performed through a Java-capable Web browser from a standard laptop, desktop PC or workstation from any location within the enterprise.

 

In-flight Encryption

In-flight encryption and advanced cryptographic algorithms provides security for frames while they are in flight between two switches. This allows frames to be encrypted at the egress point of an ISL between two B-series switches, and then to be decrypted at the ingress point of the ISL. This can be enabled (FOS 8.2.0 and above) for both E_Ports and EX_Ports on a per-port basis and no additional license is required.

 

In-flight Compression

In-flight compression optimizes network performance within the data center and over long-distance links. Data is compressed at the source and uncompressed at the destination. Performance varies by data type, but generally achieve 2:1 compression with minimal impact on performance.

 

Congestion Notification

Fabric Congestion Notification is a built-in feature that detects congestion, link integrity and delivery issues with automatic notification to end devices. Fabric OS or the end device may then mitigate and recover from the condition without user interaction providing the self-healing benefits of the autonomous SAN.

Adaptive Networking

Adaptive Networking (AN) is a family of technologies which allow flexible control of traffic movement within the fabric which deliver application aware management of fabric resources. Applications may be used with multiple protocols and multiple classes of service. It includes the following features:

- Ingress Rate Limiting:

    • Allows the ingress bandwidth of a port to be throttled to a rate lower than negotiated with the SAN node. This could be very useful for enterprises offering stepped levels of service and enforcing SLAs.

- Quality of Service (QoS):

    • Enables zones with high, medium, and low priorities within a fabric on a zone by zone basis. This can be very useful for prioritizing array replication over MANs and WANs over less critical traffic.

- Traffic Isolation Zones:

    • Defines paths through a fabric for some or all nodes. Failover allows a non-preferred path to be used if the preferred fails. TIZs use failover by default but it can be disabled if traffic should stop if a preferred path fails. TIZ can be used to manually map out traffic flows within a fabric based on application, priority, and topology.

 


 

SAN Fabric Intelligence (SAN FI)

With SAN FI administrators can eliminate time consuming, manual correlation of all application resources. This advanced feature combines monitoring, troubleshooting, and cross-correlation of servers, storage, virtual machines (VMs), and fabric connections to provide a comprehensive view of the fabric. Utilizing SAN FI provides administrators with complete, end-to-end visibility for all connected devices and components within your SAN fabric and the ability to drill down into points of interest to accelerate troubleshooting and drive smarter management decisions. This automation helps alleviate the chronic understaffing of IT infrastructure teams, providing a significantly faster response time than a human could achieve.

Extended Fabric

Extends all of the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs) beyond the native 10 km distance specified by the Fibre Channel standard.

 

ISL Trunking

For high performance enhanced Trunking, this logically groups up to eight 32 Gbps ports per ISL trunk or up to two 128 Gbps QSFP ports per ISL trunk to provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 32Gb switch needs its own license. The switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 256Gb) when routing connections between 32Gb switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which comprise the logical trunk group.

Integrated Routing

Integrated Routing is an included license which provides native Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) on a per-port basis, rather than limiting routing ports to those on a dedicated routing switch or blade.  Integrated Routing uses EX_Ports to import/export devices between fabrics, enabling selective device sharing while maintaining remote fabric isolation. Integrated Routing provides architecture flexibility to route on a port-by-port basis, enabling increased scalability and fault isolation.

 

FICON Support

FICON CUP is an included license which enables host control of switches in mainframe environments. FICON Accelerator is an optional software license that increases the speed of FICON disk and tape read and writes, while maintaining the integrity of command and acknowledgement sequences.

System Architecture

 

Fibre Channel ports

Switch mode (default): Minimum of 24 ports and maximum of 56 ports configuration. Port numbers above minimum are enabled through 8-port increments via Ports on Demand (PoD) Kits (which include PoD licenses and 8 transceivers). Universal ports self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, N_Ports, or D_Ports. Ex. Ports can be activated on a per-port basis with the included Integrated Routing license.  Access Gateway default port mapping: 56 F_Ports, 8 N_Ports

Scalability

Full fabric architecture with a maximum of 239 switches:
