1 Features • If the part number is DL-4424-0002, then the SAN I/O Module is configured to run exclusively in Access Gateway mode. To operate in Full Fabric Switch mode, you must have a Switch license. You may also use the CLI licenseshow command to determine whether the module is Dual Function (Switch/Access Gateway), or single-function Access Gateway. This command displays current license keys, along with a list of licensed products enabled by these keys. A Dual Function (Switch/Access Gateway) module should have a "Fabric license" in the command output. Features Features available on the SAN I/O Module depend on whether the module is configured in Access Gateway or Standard Full Fabric Switch mode.

Each port is capable of automatic negotiation to the highest common speed of all connected devices at 4 Gbit/sec. • Dynamic ports on demand, which allows any port to be activated as needed based on available licenses. • Frame filtering that augments the hardware zoning capabilities of the Brocade ASIC, which implements hardware zoning at the port level of the SAN I/O Module. • Brocade ASIC expanded capabilities, including World Wide Name (WWN) and device-level zoning. Hardware zoning, implemented by means of a firmware-accessible table per output port. Extensive diagnostics and monitoring capabilities. Unicast and broadcast data traffic support. Up to eight SWL small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers. NOTE The SAN I/O Module ships with four 4 Gbit/sec SFPs.
