High Availability

Full redundancy of all major components for availability.

 

 

Multiprotocol/

Enables a consistent feature set over a protocol agnostic switch fabric

Multitransport

Seamlessly integrates Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and FCIP in one system

 

Allows integration of future storage protocols with its flexible architecture

 

 

Embedded Diagnostics

Provides industry-first intelligent diagnostics, including Fibre Channel ping and trace route, SPAN,

 

protocol analysis and decoding, Zone and VSAN merge analysis, and integrated Call Home capability.

 

 

PortChannels

Allows users to aggregate up to 16 physical links into one logical bundle. The bundle can consist of any

 

port in the chassis, ensuring that the bundle remains active in the event of a port, ASIC, or module

 

failure. The bundle can sustain the failure of any physical link without causing a reset. Additionally,

 

Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) multipathing provides the intelligence to load balance across up to 16

 

equal cost paths and, in the event of a switch failure, to dynamically reroute traffic.

 

 

Access Control Lists

Hardware-based intelligent frame processing.
