Optional Brocade Features Optional Brocade features include: Advanced Performance Monitoring Enables more effective end-to-end SAN performance analysis to enhance performance tuning, increase productivity, optimize resource utilization, and reduce costs. Extended Fabrics Supports the reliable, high-speed connectivity of SilkWorm switches over dark fiber or Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) equipment at distances up to 500 kilometers to enhance business continuance operations. ISL Trunking Optimizes the performance and availability of SAN fabrics while simplifying ISL management. Two 4 Gbit/sec SilkWorm switches can automatically group up to eight ISLs into a single logical "trunk" with a total throughput of up to 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 WWN level to provide more robust data protection. Secure Fabric OS Provides a comprehensive security solutions to help protect mission-critical data. Key features include centralized policy-based security management, encryption of management data, and authentication to create a fabric-wide trusted environment with control over all levels of fabric access and communication. FICON CUP FC-FC Routing Enables IBM host-based management programs to manage FICON fabric switches in-band by sending commands to the Fabric OS emulated control device. The FC-FC (Fibre Channel) Routing Service is an optionally licensed product that provides Fibre Channel routing between two or more fabrics without merging those fabrics. FC-FC Routing is supported on the SilkWorm 7500 and SilkWorm 48000 when it is configured with a FR4-18i blade and uses configuration option 5. The FR4-18i blade can be used simultaneously as a Fibre Channel router and as an FCIP tunnel. xiv Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide Publication Number: 53-1000243-01
