SAN Switch 2/32 Features
Read the following sections for feature-specific information.
Firmware
The SAN Switch 2/32 operates using FOS firmware version 4.0.2x or higher. The
firmware supports:
■
High-speed data traffic using Interswitch Link (ISL) trunking technology
■
Automatic rerouting through the Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) algorithm
■
Application Programming Interface (API) which is a protocol that allows
applications to interface with switch services
■
Zoning functionality which provides a means to allocate storage controllers to
groups of computers. Allows you to create logical subsets of the fabric to
accommodate closed user groups or to create functional user groups within a
fabric
■
Per port statistics which help technicians diagnose and isolate problem ports
without disrupting switch operations
■
Error detections and fault isolation which automatically disables failing ports
and restarts when the problem is resolved
■
Industry standard Management Information Base (MIB) support
■
Automatic self-discovery which discovers and registers host server and
storage devices
■
Web Tools which provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to allow
management of a SAN from a browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape
Hardware
The SAN Switch 2/32 consists of the following components:
■
Air-cooled 1.5U chassis that can be set up as a stand-alone unit or mounted in
a standard Electronic Industries Association (EIA) 19-inch rack
■
32 Fibre Channel ports
■
One RS-232 Serial port, designed to connect to a DTE port
■
One 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector
■
Two redundant power supplies, with AC switches and built-in fans
