Physical Planning Considerations 5 SANtegrity Authentication SANtegrity Binding OpenTrunking SANtegrity Authentication is a feature that significantly enhances and extends SAN data security by providing password safety; CHAP or DHCHAP verification for fabric elements, management servers, and devices; a PCP user database; CT authentication for the OSMS interface; RADIUS server support; inband and out-of-band access controls lists; encrypted SSH protocol; and security logging. For additional information about the feature, refer to SANtegrity Authentication. SANtegrity Binding is a feature that significantly enhances SAN data security. The feature includes: • Fabric binding - This portion of the feature allows only specified directors or fabric switches to attach to specified fabrics in a SAN. • Switch binding - This portion of the feature allows only specified devices and fabric elements to connect to specified director or fabric switch ports. • Enterprise Fabric Mode - Although Enterprise Fabric Mode is not a keyed feature, it is required for SANtegrity Binding operation. Enterprise Fabric Mode also enables the following parameters: - Rerouting delay. - Domain RSCNs. - Insistent Domain_ID. For additional information about the feature, refer to SANtegrity Binding. OpenTrunking is a feature that optimizes ISL bandwidth use in a fabric environment. The feature monitors Fibre Channel data rates (congestion and BB_Credit starvation) through multiple ISLs, dynamically applies a Dijkstra FSPF networking algorithm to calculate the optimum path between fabric elements, and load balances Fibre Channel traffic (from congested links to uncongested links) accordingly. OpenTrunking is shown in Figure 5-8. Physical Planning Considerations 5-37
