SAN Switch 2/32 Version 4.2.x Installation Guide
SAN Switch 2/32 Features
This section provides feature-specific information.
Firmware
The SAN Switch 2/32 operates using FOS firmware version 4.2.x. The firmware
supports:
An optional Security feature, which provides security mechanisms at all
vulnerable points in a SAN fabric, from hosts to storage at the port, switch,
and fabric levels.
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
Per port statistics, which help technicians diagnose and isolate problem ports
without disrupting switch operations
Error detection and fault isolation
Industry standard Management Information Base (MIB) support
Automatic self-discovery
Advanced Web Tools, which is an integrated Graphical User Interface (GUI),
to manage the SAN from a browser
Hardware
The SAN Switch 2/32 consists of the following components:
An air-cooled 1.5-Unit 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
Three redundant fan assemblies, hot-swappable if replaced one at a time
A field-replaceable motherboard assembly enclosed in a grounded EMI cage
