• Allowance for up to 10 Gbps minimum rate circuit using a single IP address pair • Support for 10 GigE to 10 GigE connections only on multi-gigabit circuits This feature is supported on HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade only in 10 Gbps mode. • 10 GigE Adaptive Rate Limiting (ARL) on HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade The 10 GigE ARL feature allows users to configure minimum and maximum rates for each circuit of a tunnel that is using xge0 or xge1 on an HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade. The 10 GigE ARL feature provides the following capabilities: • Support for ARL on tunnels over the 10 GigE ports • Maximum guaranteed rate of 10 Gbps combined for all tunnels over a single 10 GigE port • Maximum rate of 10 Gbps for any single circuit Configurable QoS on FCIP tunnel The configurable QoS option allows a user to override the default percentages of bandwidth assigned to each of the QoS classes within an FCIP tunnel. The default values are those of pre-Fabric OS 7.0.0a predefined rates: 50% for high, 30% for medium, and 20% for low priority traffic. This feature is supported on HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade and HP 1606 SAN Extension Switch. Auto-mode option for compression On HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade and HP 1606 SAN Extension Switch, a new compression mode called auto-mode is supported starting with Fabric OS 7.0.0a. This feature adjusts the compression mode (1, 2 or 3) based on the maximum configured tunnel bandwidth. In the auto mode, best compression mode is selected based on the configured maximum bandwidth of the tunnel and advanced compression bandwidth usage in the system. XISL Support ON HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade - Ability to use VE ports as XISLs This feature enables multiple logical fabrics to share a single base fabric while providing fabric-level isolation in Virtual Fabrics environment. Specifically, it enables logical connectivity over FCIP between otherwise disconnected segments of a fabric. This feature is supported only on HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade in both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps modes. InBand Management on HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade and HP 1606 SAN Extension Switch The Inband Management feature allows a user to define one or more IP addresses on the non-management GE ports and provide a management path from WAN (Wide Area Network) to the switch CP. Users can then use these IP addresses to access SNMP events, establish Telnet sessions, and the like. 8

•
Allowance for up to 10 Gbps minimum rate circuit using a single IP address pair
•
Support for 10 GigE to 10 GigE connections only on multi-gigabit circuits
This feature is supported on HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade only in 10 Gbps
mode.

10 GigE Adaptive Rate Limiting (ARL) on HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade
The 10 GigE ARL feature allows users to configure minimum and maximum rates for each circuit
of a tunnel that is using xge0 or xge1 on an HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade.
The 10 GigE ARL feature provides the following capabilities:
•
Support for ARL on tunnels over the 10 GigE ports
•
Maximum guaranteed rate of 10 Gbps combined for all tunnels over a single 10 GigE port
•
Maximum rate of 10 Gbps for any single circuit
Configurable QoS on FCIP tunnel
The configurable QoS option allows a user to override the default percentages of bandwidth assigned
to each of the QoS classes within an FCIP tunnel. The default values are those of pre-Fabric OS 7.0.0a
predefined rates: 50% for high, 30% for medium, and 20% for low priority traffic. This feature is
supported on HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade and HP 1606 SAN Extension Switch.
Auto-mode option for compression
On HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade and HP 1606 SAN Extension Switch, a new
compression mode called
auto-mode
is supported starting with Fabric OS 7.0.0a. This feature adjusts
the compression mode (1, 2 or 3) based on the maximum configured tunnel bandwidth. In the auto
mode, best compression mode is selected based on the configured maximum bandwidth of the tunnel
and advanced compression bandwidth usage in the system.
XISL Support ON HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade
–
Ability to use VE ports
as XISLs
This feature enables multiple logical fabrics to share a single base fabric while providing fabric-level
isolation in Virtual Fabrics environment. Specifically, it enables logical connectivity over FCIP between
otherwise disconnected segments of a fabric. This feature is supported only on HP DC SAN Director
Multiprotocol Extension Blade in both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps modes.
InBand Management on HP DC SAN Director Multiprotocol Extension Blade and HP 1606
SAN Extension Switch
The Inband Management feature allows a user to define one or more IP addresses on the
non-management GE ports and provide a management path from WAN (Wide Area Network) to the
switch CP. Users can then use these IP addresses to access SNMP events, establish Telnet sessions,
and the like.
