Page 13: Introduction
22 Switch description The HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/32 provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a storage area network (SAN) environment. SANs introduce the concept of server-to-device networking and multiswitch fabrics, eliminate requirements for dedicated connections, and enable the enterprise to become data centric.
Page 14: Switch Management
CLI is to automate management of a large number of switches using scripts. The CLI is not an interactive interface; no checking is done for pre-existing conditions and no prompts display to guide users through tasks. Refer to the HP StorageWorks CLI reference guide for directors and edge switches.

Page 16: Zoning
Zoning The switch supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones cannot communicate with each other. Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information associated with device N_Ports that attach to switch fabric ports (F_Ports).
