• Brocade ISL Trunking - Optimizes performance in multi-switch SAN fabrics. When two or more adjacent ISLs are used to connect two switches, the switches automatically group the ISLs into a single logical ISL, or "trunk." Up to eight ISLs can be combined into a single logical ISL with a total bandwidth of 32 Gbit/sec that can support any number of devices. • Brocade Fabric Manager - Enables administration, configuration, and maintenance of fabric switches and SANs with host-based software. • Brocade Advanced Performance Monitoring - Enables performance monitoring of networked storage resources. This license includes the TopTalkers feature. • FC-IP Services (For the FR4-18i and Brocade 7500) -- This license key includes the FC Fastwrite feature. • Brocade Fabric Watch-Monitors mission-critical switch operations. • FICON Management Server- Also known as "CUP" (Control Unit Port), enables host-control of switches in Mainframe environments.
