Description
The Active Buffer Monitoring feature provides
detailed buffer occupancy data to help you detect
network congestion, review past events to understand
when and how network congestion is affecting
network operations, understand historical trending,
and identify patterns of application traffic flow.
In warp mode, the access path is shortened by
consolidating the forwarding table into single table,
resulting in faster processing of frames and packets.
In warp mode, latency is reduced by up to 20 percent.
User accounts and role-based access control (RBAC)
allow you to define the rules for an assigned role.
Roles restrict the authorization that the user has to
access management operations. Each user role can
contain multiple rules and each user can have multiple
roles.
Session Manager allows you to create a configuration
and apply it in batch mode after the configuration is
reviewed and verified for accuracy and completeness.
