Physical Planning Considerations 5 Follow best practices listed here in order of precedence. Logically work in sequence from the most restrictive method to the least restrictive method, ensuring the most restrictive connectivity or routing paths override all other paths. Optional Feature Keys McDATA offers several operating features that are available for the switch as customer-specified options. Available PFE keys include: • OSMS or FMS - Inband director or fabric switch management is provided through purchase of the OSMS or FICON management server (FMS) feature. NOTE: Sphereon 4300, 4400, and 4500 Fabric Switches and SAN routers do not support out-of-band management through FMS. • Flexport Technology - A Flexport Technology switch is delivered at a discount without all the ports enabled. When additional port capacity is required, the remaining ports are enabled (in four or eight-port increments) through purchase of this feature. NOTE: Directors and SAN routers do not support Flexport Technology. • SANtegrity Authentication - Enablement of this feature enhances security in SANs by restricting unregulated access to Fibre Channel directors and fabric switches. NOTE: SAN routers do not support SANtegrity Authentication. • SANtegrity Binding - Enablement of this feature enhances security in SANs that contain a large and mixed group of fabrics and attached devices. NOTE: SAN routers do not support SANtegrity Binding. • OpenTrunking - Enablement of this feature provides dynamic load balancing of Fibre Channel traffic across multiple ISLs. NOTE: SAN routers do not support OpenTrunking. Physical Planning Considerations 5-33
