• Extended distance support (director-to-director): HP supports the following director-to-director long distance connections: - Up to ten kilometers using longwave SFP interswitch link (ISL) connections. - Up to 100 kilometers by setting a port's buffer-to-buffer credit (BB_Credit) value to 60 and using dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) equipment. HP supports DWDM customer-supplied equipment. • Zoning System administrators can partition attached devices into restricted-access zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones cannot recognize and communicate with each other. • State change notification The director supports a state change notification function that allows attached N_Ports to request notification when other N_Ports change operational state. • Port binding The director supports a feature that binds an attached Fibre Channel device to a specified director port through the device's world wide name (WWN). Security Features The HP EFC Manager and Product Manager applications offer the following security features: • Password protection Users must provide a user name and password to login to the HP EFC Server and access managed directors. Administrators can configure user names and passwords for up to 16 users, and can authorize or prohibit specific management permissions for each user. Director Features 11 Introduction
