The Remote Switch fabric functions with the aid of a bridging device, or network bridge. The network
bridge supports Fibre Channel physical interfaces, as well as secondary non-Fibre Channel FCIP physical
interfaces.
An ASIC based capability in the 4 Gb, 8 Gb, and 16 Gb family of SAN switches that enables new applications
and features. The switch 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.
WWN Zoning and Access Control are included in the DC SAN Directors' hardware. Administrators can
organize a physical fabric into logical groups and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside the Zone.
WebTools is an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface that enables organizations to install and
configure an SN8000B or DC SAN Director. SAN administrators can perform the initial configuration and
basic management tasks by using a Java-capable Web browser from standard laptops, desktop PCs, or
workstations from any location within the enterprise.
Enhanced Group Management (EGM) is a FOS license that is included with all B-Series switches and enables
multi-switch operations. It helps automate operations across multiple switches to save time and
streamline repetitive operations, which are typically prone to error. EGM drives consistency across fabrics,
while minimizing the risk associated with potential downtime due to configuration mismatches. EGM
provides streamlined troubleshooting for more effective fabric monitoring and diagnosis.
HP SAN Network Advisor Professional, Professional Plus, and Enterprise enable EGM functionality.
Customers have EGM functionality enabled within the hardware product and need only to make the
decision around which management application is right for them - SAN Network Advisor Professional,
Professional Plus, or Enterprise.
