Installation Tasks
• 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 Computer Network Technologies (CNT)
UltraEdge wide area network (WAN) Gateways.
