The following B-series Fibre Channel switches support Access Gateway Mode: Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class, Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem, HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 4/8 (with 16 ports enabled), 4/16, 8/8 (with 24 ports enabled), 8/24, and 8/40 (with 6.2.0a or later). • Advanced Performance Monitor-Analyzes resource utilization throughout the fabric. • Advanced WebTools-Centralizes and simplifies switch management through a browser-based application. • Advanced Zoning-Provides secure access control over fabric resources. Uses the switch hardware to enforce port and WWN zoning. • Extended Fabrics-Enhances performance for Fibre Channel SAN connectivity for distances greater than 1 km (8 Gb/s), 2.5 km (4 Gb/s), 5 km (2 Gb/s), and 10 km (1 Gb/s) to improve disaster recovery operations and ensure business continuity. Extended fabric support for distances up to 10 km is provided in all B-series switches. For distances greater than 10 km, an Extended Fabrics license is required. For maximum supported distances based on the link speed, see "SAN fabric connectivity and switch interoperability rules" on page 167. • Fabric Manager-Centralizes fabric management through a host-based application. This is a legacy product, currently in sustaining mode only. • Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM)-Centralizes fabric management through a host-based nl application. This is available free for single-fabric management (DCFM Professional), or for purchase for multiple-fabric management and increased device count (DCFM Professional Plus and DCFM Enterprise). NOTE: See Table 18 through Table 22 for switch models supported with Fabric Manager and DCFM. 100 B-series switches and fabric rules
