Frame Filtering

An ASIC based capability in the 2Gb family of switches that enables new applications and features. The switch now has the

 

ability to "view" the first 64 bytes of the Fibre Channel frame. At this time, Frame Filtering enables advanced capabilities

 

such as Advanced Zoning and Advanced Performance Monitoring.

 

 

Advanced Zoning

In the 2 Gb generation of switches, WWN Zoning and Access Control are enforced by hardware that provides the same

 

simple administration previously enforced only with software. Administrators can organize a physical fabric into logical

 

groups and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside the Zone.

 

 

WebTools

Enables organizations to monitor and manage single Fibre Channel switches and small SAN fabrics. Tasks can be

 

performed through a Java-capable Web browser from a standard laptop, desktop PC or workstation from any location

 

within the enterprise.
