McDATA® Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Fabric Switches Installation and Service Manual

Perform this procedure to install one or more of the following 
optional features:

•

These feature allows open systems host control of the 

switch.

•

A Flexport Technology switch is delivered 

at a discount with only eight ports enabled. When additional port 
capacity is required, the remaining ports are enabled (in eight- 
port increments) through purchase of this feature.

•

SANtegrity™ binding - 

This feature enhances security in SANs 

with a large and mixed group of fabrics and attached devices.

•

 This feature allows a user to configure an ISL 

data path between switches by configuring the source and exit 
ports of the origination switch, and the domain ID of the 
destination switch.

•

This feature provides dynamic load balancing of 

Fibre Channel traffic across multiple ISLs.

•

This feature ensures that no Fibre Channel frames 

are stored after the switch is powered off, and a memory dump 
file (that possibly includes classified frames) is not included as 
part of the data collection procedure.

•

This feature is included only in software 

maintenance release 4.02.00, and is required to allow the switch 
to communicate with Computer Network Technologies (CNT) 
UltraEdge wide area network (WAN) Gateways.

the enclosed instructions. A PFE key is an alphanumeric string 
consisting of both uppercase and lowercase characters. The total 
number of characters may vary. The key is case sensitive and must be 
entered exactly, including dashes. The following is an example of a
