Description
Configure Fibre Channel Security
Protocol (FC-SP) authentication to
overcome security challenges for
enterprise-wide fabrics.
Diffie-Hellman Challenge
Handshake Authentication
Protocol (DHCHAP) provides
authentication between Cisco
MDS switches and other devices.
Intermix FICON and Fibre
Channel Protocol (FCP) traffic on
the same switch without
compromising scalability,
availability, manageability and
network security.
Prevent unauthorized switches
from joining the fabric or
disrupting current fabric
operations.
Use the RLIR function to send a
LIR to a registered Nx-port.
Use the trespass feature to enable
the export of Logical Units (LUs)
from the active to the passive port
of a statically imported iSCSI
target.
Use the iSNS services to automate
the discovery and management of
iSCSI devices.
Connect all iSCSI initiators
through one IPS port to make it
appear as one Fibre Channel port
per VSAN.
Improve application performance
using the FCIP write acceleration
feature.
Allow IP packets to be compressed
on the FCIP link if this feature is
enabled on that link.
Configure an iSCSI host to be a
member of one or more VSANs.
