• Port Mirroring-captures traffic between two devices for non-disruptive traffic analysis (available on the SAN Switch 4/32, 4/64 SAN Switch, 4/256 SAN Director, and 400 MP Router). Management • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)-adds support for the new RBAC roles: Operator, Zone Manager, Fabric Administrator, and Basic Switch Administrator. • Virtual fabrics through administrative domains (Admin Domains or AD)-provides data, management, and fault isolation through administrative domains. • DHCP-support for standalone switches. Security • Device Connection Control (DCC), Switch Connection Control (SCC)-provides the ability to manually distribute passwords among participating switches in the base Fabric OS. • Internet Protocol Security (IPSec)-ensures private, secure communications over Internet Protocol (IP) networks to prevent network-based attacks, which could potentially result in denial of service, data corruption, data theft, user credential theft, and so on. The IPSec license is available as an optional license for the 400 MP Router and B-Series MP Router blade in the 4/256 SAN Director. FCR enhancements FCR enhancements for the 400 MP Router and B-Series MP Router blade in the 4/256 SAN Director: • Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), see description provided above. • FastWrite reduces the number of round-trips required to complete a SCSI Write IO, which both reduces IO completion latency and increases FCIP ISL bandwidth utilization. • Tape Pipelining accelerates SCSI Write IOs between geographically remote initiators and Tape Devices on Fibre Channel SANs linked via FCIP ISLs. • WAN tool, the ipperf option has been added to the portCmd command to characterize end-to-end IP path performance factors, such as bandwidth, loss rate, roundtrip time, and path Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) between a pair of FCIP ports. • tstimezone command provides flexibility via an interactive way to support a new Daylight Saving Time based on the country and region. • The number of user accounts is increased from 15 to 256. • Zoning database size increased from 256 KB to 1 MB. 6

Port Mirroring
—captures traffic between two devices for non-disruptive traffic
analysis (available on the SAN Switch 4/32, 4/64 SAN Switch, 4/256 SAN
Director, and 400 MP Router).
Management
•
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
—adds support for the new RBAC roles:
Operator, Zone Manager, Fabric Administrator, and Basic Switch Administrator.
•
Virtual fabrics through administrative domains (Admin Domains or AD)
—provides
data, management, and fault isolation through administrative domains.
•
DHCP
—support for standalone switches.
Security
•
Device Connection Control (DCC), Switch Connection Control (SCC)
—provides the
ability to manually distribute passwords among participating switches in the
base Fabric OS.
•
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec)
—ensures private, secure communications over
Internet Protocol (IP) networks to prevent network-based attacks, which could
potentially result in denial of service, data corruption, data theft, user credential
theft, and so on. The IPSec license is available as an optional license for the 400
MP Router and B-Series MP Router blade in the 4/256 SAN Director.
FCR enhancements
FCR enhancements for the 400 MP Router and B-Series MP Router blade in the 4/256
SAN Director:
•
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), see description provided above.
•
FastWrite reduces the number of round-trips required to complete a SCSI Write
IO, which both reduces IO completion latency and increases FCIP ISL bandwidth
utilization.
•
Tape Pipelining accelerates SCSI Write IOs between geographically remote
initiators and Tape Devices on Fibre Channel SANs linked via FCIP ISLs.
•
WAN tool, the
ipperf
option has been added to the
portCmd
command to
characterize end-to-end IP path performance factors, such as bandwidth, loss
rate, roundtrip time, and path Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) between
a pair of FCIP ports.
•
tstimezone
command provides flexibility via an interactive way to support a
new Daylight Saving Time based on the country and region.
•
The number of user accounts is increased from 15 to 256.
•
Zoning database size increased from 256 KB to 1 MB.
