ISL Trunking
For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to eight E-ports to
provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 8 Gb switch needs its own license. The
switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resou
routing connections between switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which
comprise the logical trunk group.
Advanced Performance
Monitoring
This enabling technology helps administrators monitor and watch specific fabric metrics -- from a SID
(Source ID) to a DID (Destination ID)
Advanced Performance Monitoring includes the ability for early warning detection of hot spots within
the fabric, a powerful tool for maintaining overall balanced performance.
NOTE:
utilize the Fabric Vision licensed Flow Vision features for performance monitoring.
Fabric Watch
Fabric Watch enables each switch to monitor the SAN for potential faults-and automatically alert
network managers to problems before they become failures. Fabric Watch tracks a variety of SAN fabric
elements, events, and counters. Monitoring f
parameters permits early fault detection and isolation as well as performance measurement. Each
switch in the SAN needs its own Fabric Watch license.
