Flexport Technology The Edge Switch 2/16, Edge Switch 2/32, and Edge Switch 2/24 can be purchased at a discount without all Fibre Channel ports enabled. The Flexport technology feature is a hardware port expansion kit that allows customers to upgrade switch capacity on demand in eight-port increments. Flexport technology kits are available to upgrade the following: ■ Edge Switch 2/16 from 8 to 16 ports. ■ Edge Switch 2/32 from 16 to 24 ports, or from 24 to 32 ports. ■ Edge Switch 2/24 from 8 to 16 ports, or from 16 to 24 ports. Each port expansion kit includes eight SFP optical transceivers, upgrade instructions, and a feature key that enables the added port capacity through the Product Manager application. SANtegrity Binding SANtegrity Binding is a feature that enhances data security in large and complex SANs that are comprised of numerous fabrics and devices provided by multiple original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The feature allows or prohibits director or switch attachment to fabrics (fabric binding) and Fibre Channel device attachment to directors or switches (switch binding). The SANtegrity binding feature includes: ■ Fabric binding - Using the fabric binding feature, an administrator allows only specified directors or switches to attach to specified fabrics in a SAN. This provides security from accidental fabric merges or potential fabric disruption when multiple fabrics segment because they cannot merge. This feature is managed through the HAFM Manager application. 140 SAN High Availability Planning Guide
