Universal ports self-configure as E, F, M, or D ports. EX_Ports can be activated
on a per port basis with the optional Integrated Routing license
–
Diagnostic Port (D-Port) feature provides physical media diagnostic,
troubleshooting and verification services
v
In-flight data compression and encryption on up to two ports provides efficient
link utilization and security
v
Virtual Fabric support to improve isolation between different VFs
v
Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) service, available with the optional Integrated
Routing license provides improved scalability and fault isolation
v
Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking (licensable), which allows up to eight ports (at
2, 4, 8, or 16 Gbps speeds) between a pair of switches combined to form a single,
logical ISL with a speed of up to 128 Gbps (256 Gbps full duplex) for optimal
bandwidth utilization and load balancing
v
Dynamic Path Selection (DPS), which optimizes fabric-wide performance and
load balancing by automatically routing data to the most efficient available path
in the fabric
v
SFP+ optical transceivers that support any combination of Short Wavelength
(SWL) and Long Wavelength (LWL) or Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL)
optical media among the switch ports
v
Extended distance support enables native Fibre Channel extension up to 7,500
km at 2 Gbps
v
Support for unicast, multicast (255 groups), and broadcast data traffic types
v
Fabric OS, which delivers distributed intelligence throughout the network and
enables a wide range of value-added applications including Advanced Web
Tools and Zoning. Optional Fabric Services include: Adaptive Networking with
QoS, Extended Fabrics, Enhanced Group Management, Fabric Watch, ISL
Trunking, and End-to-End Performance Monitoring (APM)
v
Support for Access Gateway configuration where server ports connected to the
fabric core will be virtualized

Wide Name (WWN). Hardware zoning permits or denies delivery of frames to
any destination port address
v
Extensive diagnostics and system-monitoring capabilities for enhanced high
Reliability,Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)
v
10G Fibre Channel integration on the same port provides for DWDM metro
connectivity on the same switch (available on the first eight ports only)
v
EZSwitchSetup wizard that makes SAN configuration a three-step
point-and-click task
v
Real time power monitoring enables users to monitor real time power usage of
the fabric at the switch level
v
Port-to-port latency minimized to 800 nanoseconds through the use of
cut-through frame routing at 16 Gbps
