McDATA Sphereon 4500 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
Installation Tasks
Task 16: Configure PFE Key (Optional)
Perform this task to display or install operating features that are
available for the switch as customer-specified options. Available
features include the:
• OSMS - These feature allows open systems host control of the
switch.
• Flexport Technology - A Flexport Technology switch is delivered
at a discount with only eight ports enabled. When additional port
capacity is required, the remaining ports are enabled (in eight-
port increments) through purchase of this feature.
• SANtegrity binding - This feature enhances security in SANs
with a large and mixed group of fabrics and attached devices.
• OpenTrunking - This feature provides dynamic load balancing of
Fibre Channel traffic across multiple ISLs.
• Full volatility - This feature ensures that no Fibre Channel frames
are stored after the switch is powered off, and a memory dump
file (that possibly includes classified frames) is not included as
part of the data collection procedure.
• CNT WAN support - This feature is included only in software
maintenance release 4.02.00, and is required to allow the switch
to communicate with CNT UltraEdge WAN Gateways.
• Element Manager application - This feature enables switch
management through the Element Manager user interface. The
switch is delivered with the application enabled for a 31-day
grace period. Before grace period expiration, the application must
be reactivated through a PFE key.
During the 31-day grace period, a No Feature Key dialog box
(Figure 2-76 on page 2-83) appears when the Element Manager
application is accessed. Click OK to close the dialog box and open
the application.
