Pack Software Bundle

The SAN Switch 2/16V Power Pack Software bundle includes:

Fabric Watch
Advanced Performance Monitoring
ISL Trunking

NOTE:

NOTE: The Extended Fabric license is no longer part of the Power Pack bundle for the 8-port and 16-
port switch models.

ISL Trunking

For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to four E-ports to
provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 2 Gb switch needs its own license. The
switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 8 Gb) when routing
connections between switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which
comprise the logical trunk group. Each 16-port switch can have a total of four separate 4-port Trunk
groups.

Advanced Performance

Advanced Performance
Monitor

Monitor

This enabling technology helps administrators monitor and watch specific fabric metrics -- from a SID
(Source ID) to a DID (Destination ID) -- so they can fine-tune and scale the fabric more efficiently. Plus,
Advanced Performance Monitoring includes the ability for early warning detection of hot spots within the
fabric, a powerful tool for maintaining overall balanced performance.

Fabric Watch

Fabric Watch enables each switch to monitor the SAN for potential faults-and automatically alert network
managers to problems before they become failures. Fabric Watch tracks a variety of SAN fabric
elements, events, and counters. Monitoring fabric-wide events, ports, SFPs, and environmental
parameters permits early fault detection and isolation as well as performance measurement. Each switch
in the SAN needs its own Fabric Watch license.

Extended Fabric

Extends all of the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of Fibre Channel Storage Area
Networks (SANs) beyond the native 10 km distance specified by the Fibre Channel standard.

NOTE:

NOTE: The Extended fabric option is no longer supported in the new 4 Gb/s 8-port and 16-port switch
models. It is supported only in the 2 Gb/s legacy models.

Fabric Manager

Fabric Manager is a highly scalable, Java-based application that manages multiple switches and
multiple fabrics (up to eight) in real time, helping SAN administrators with SAN configuration,
monitoring, dynamic provisioning, and daily management. SAN administrators gain rapid access to
critical SAN information across multiple personality fabrics, including both Fabric OS SANs and
enhanced Secure Fabric OS SANs.

Secure Fabric OS

Secure Fabric OS™ is a comprehensive security solution for SAN fabrics providing policy-based security
protection for more predictable change management, assured configuration integrity and reduced risk of
downtime. Secure Fabric OS protects the network by using the strongest, enterprise-class security
methods available, including digital certificates and digital signatures, multiple levels of password
protection, strong password encryption and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)-based authentication, and
128-bit encryption of the switch's private key used for digital signatures. With its flexible design, Secure
Fabric OS enables organizations to customize SAN security to meet specific policy requirements. In
addition, Secure Fabric OS works in conjunction with Advanced Zoning to further secure access to the
SAN, simplify storage management, and reduce provisioning time.
