This feature provides the ability to boot the host operating system from a boot device located somewhere on the SAN instead of the host's local disk or direct attached Fibre Channel storage. Specifically, this "boot device" is a logical unit number (LUN) located on a storage device. Booting from a direct-attached device is also supported. • Fabric-based boot LUN discovery, a feature that allows the host to obtain boot LUN information from the fabric zone database. NOTE This feature is not available for direct-attached targets. • Persistent binding. This enables you to permanently assign a system SCSI target ID to a specific Fibre Channel device. • Fibre Channel-Security Protocol (FC-SP) providing device authentication through key management. • FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP) support for the following: - FIP 2.0 - preFIP and FIP 1.03 - FIP Discovery protocol for dynamic FCF discovery and FCoE link management - FPMA type FIP fabric login - VLAN discovery for untagged and priority tagged FIP frames - FIP discovery solicitation and FCP discovery - Login (FIP and FCoE) - FIP link down handling. - FIP version compatibility - FIP keep alive - FIP clear virtual links NOTE The CNA FIP logic automatically adapts to the adequate FIP version and preFIP to enable backward compatibility. 20 Brocade Adapters Installation and Reference Manual 53-1002144-01
