EGM
Enhanced Group Management (EGM) is a FOS license that is included with all B-Series switches and
enables multi-switch operations. It helps automate operations across multiple switches to save time and
streamline repetitive operations, which are typically prone to error. EGM drives consistency across fabrics,
while minimizing the risk associated with potential downtime due to configuration mismatches. EGM
provides streamlined troubleshooting for more effective fabric monitoring and diagnosis.

Both Data Center Fabric Manager Professional and Enterprise enable EGM functionality. Customers have
EGM functionality enabled within the hardware product and need only to make the decision around
which management application is right for them - Data Center Fabric Manager Professional, Professional
Plus, or Enterprise.

Adaptive Networking
Adaptive Networking (AN) is a family of technologies which allow flexible control of traffic movement
within the fabric which deliver application aware management of fabric resources. Applications may be
used with multiple protocols and multiple classes of service. It includes the following features:

used with multiple protocols and multiple classes of service. It includes the following features:
Ingress Rate Limiting:
Allows the ingress bandwidth of a port to be throttled to a rate lower than negotiated with the SAN node.
This could be very useful for enterprises offering stepped levels of service and enforcing SLAs.
This could be very useful for enterprises offering stepped levels of service and enforcing SLAs.
Quality of Service (QoS):
Enables zones with high, medium, and low priorities within a fabric on a zone by zone basis. This can
be very useful for prioritizing array replication over MANs and WANs over less critical traffic.

Traffic Isolation Zones:
Defines paths through a fabric for some or all nodes. Failover allows a non-preferred path to be used if
the preferred fails. TIZs use failover by default but it can be disabled if traffic should stop if a preferred
path fails. TIZ can be used to manually map out traffic flows within a fabric based on application, priority,
and topology.
