Virtual E_ports.

FCIP QoS.

Support for 200 ms RTT (on a limited number of GbE ports).

Adaptive Rate Limiting (licensable).

TCP performance graphing in Web Tools.

FCIP Tunnels.

-A maximum of 10 FCIP Tunnels for all GbE ports.

-Four tunnels maximum per GbE port.

-Two 10 GbE ports can support up to ten FCIP tunnels each.

-Each FCIP tunnel is represented and managed as a virtual Fibre Channel E_Port.

-Fibre Channel Routing Services can be used over the FCIP link.

-The Link Cost is equal to the sum of all established/low metric (or currently active) circuits’ MAX rates in the tunnel.

-Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are configured as VE_Ports, and do not merge if they are configured as VEX_Ports. If VE_Ports are used in a Fibre Channel Routing Services backbone fabric configuration, then the backbone fabric merges, but the EX_Port-attached edge fabrics do not merge. For more information refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Up to three FC trunking groups. The three groups are defined as:

-Trunk group 0: FC ports 0,1

-Trunk group 1: FC ports 6,7

-Trunk group 2: FC ports 2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11
