Gbit/sec switches and directors. When two or more adjacent ISLs are used to
connect two switches, the switches automatically group the ISLs into a single
logical ISL, or “trunk.” The throughput of the resulting trunk can be anywhere
from 4 Gbit/sec to as much as 32 Gbit/sec.
Advanced Zoning Automatically groups SAN fabric-connected devices into logical zones that
restrict access to “member” devices in the zone. Advanced Zoning uses
hardware enforcement at both the port and world-wide name (WWN) level to
provide more robust data protection.
Secure Fabric OS Provides a comprehensive security solution to help protect mission-critical
data. Key features include centralized policy-based security management,
management data encryption, and authentication to create a fabric-wide
trusted environment with control over all levels of fabric access and
communication.
FICON
®
CUP Enables IBM host-based management programs to manage fibre connectivity
(FICON) fabric switches in-band by sending commands to the Fabric OS
emulated control device.
FCIP Tunneling The optional Fibre Channel over Internet protocol (FCIP) Tunneling Service
enables Fibre Channel frames to “tunnel” through IP networks by dividing
frames, encapsulating the result in IP packets on entering the tunnel, and
then reconstructing them as they leave the tunnel. Fabric OS supports eight
FCIP interswitch links between two Brocade switches (Brocade 7500 or
Brocade 48000 with a FR4-18i) or routes. The GbE ports on the FC4-16IP do
not support FCIP tunneling.
