Distributed Fabrics User's Guide

12 HP Distributed Fabrics User’s Guide
• Distributed management - Access to the management facilities (Web
Tools, Telnet, and SNMP) is available from either the local or remote
switch. Interconnect for switch management is routed through the fibre
channel connection; no additional network connection is required
between sites.
• Ability to support multiple interswitch links (ISLs) - Sites requiring
redundant configurations can connect multiple E_Ports to remote sites
by using multiple gateways. Standard Fabric OS routing facilities
automatically maximize throughput by using the E_Ports to load share
traffic during normal operation, with automatic failover and failback
during interruption on the WAN connection.
