SANtegrity Authentication is a feature that significantly enhances
and extends SAN data security by providing password safety; CHAP
or DHCHAP verification for fabric elements, management servers,
and devices; a PCP user database; CT authentication for the OSMS
interface; RADIUS server support; inband and out-of-band access
controls lists; encrypted SSH protocol; and security logging. For
additional information about the feature, refer to
Authentication.
SANtegrity Binding is a feature that significantly enhances SAN data
security. The feature includes:
• Fabric binding - This portion of the feature allows only specified
directors or fabric switches to attach to specified fabrics in a SAN.
• Switch binding - This portion of the feature allows only specified
devices and fabric elements to connect to specified director or
fabric switch ports.
• Enterprise Fabric Mode - Although Enterprise Fabric Mode is not a
keyed feature, it is required for SANtegrity Binding operation.
Enterprise Fabric Mode also enables the following parameters:
— Rerouting delay.
— Domain RSCNs.
— Insistent Domain_ID.
For additional information about the feature, refer to
Binding.
OpenTrunking is a feature that optimizes ISL bandwidth use in a
fabric environment. The feature monitors Fibre Channel data rates
(congestion and BB_Credit starvation) through multiple ISLs,
dynamically applies a Dijkstra FSPF networking algorithm to
calculate the optimum path between fabric elements, and load
balances Fibre Channel traffic (from congested links to uncongested
links) accordingly. OpenTrunking is shown in
