Interoperability
The SAN I/O Module supports interoperability for the features and functions listed in
Table 5
.
TABLE 5
Interoperability
Feature/Function
Description
Link initialization
The SAN I/O Module comes online automatically after it is seated securely in
one of the Dell M1000e Blade Server Enclosure I/O module bays.
Routing
Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF)—A link state path selection protocol that
directs traffic along the shortest path between the source and destination
based upon the link cost.
Registered state change
notification (RSCN)
Notifies a device of a change within the fabric.
SNMP facilities
v1, v2c, and v3
Translative mode
Private target support on fabrics.
