VLAN Access Control provides IP access control to storage based on a
VLAN identifier (VID) number (in addition to access control through access
lists).
Authentication provides iSCSI authentication using AAA authentication
methods.
High Availability (HA) provides the ability to group storage routers in a
cluster for failover and other cluster-related functions (for SCSI routing only).
E_Port with FC Fabric Zoning provides the ability to connect FC ports to
FC switches and participate in fabric zoning, manage zoning, and support
zone mergers
SNMP/MIB support provides network management of the storage router
through SNMP using selected MIBs.
Gigabit Ethernet Interface features provides the ability to assign a
management IP address per Gigabit Ethernet interface, multiple IP addresses
per SCSI routing instance, and an optional secondary Gigabit Ethernet
interface per IP address used for SCSI routing or SR2122-2 management.
When the SR2122-2 is deployed for FCIP, provides primary and optional
secondary Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to the FCIP peer.
FCIP data compression enables the SR2122-2 to dynamically compress
FCIP data traffic for better channel bandwidth utilization.
Buffer credit extension enables the SR2122-2 to donate buffer credits from a
donor port to selected FC ports.
