CUP In-Band Management
The Control Unit Port (CUP) protocol configures access control and provides unified storage
management capabilities from a mainframe computer. Cisco MDS 9000 FICON-enabled switches are
fully IBM CUP standard compliant for in-band management using the IBM S/A OS/390 I/O operations
console.
Note The CUP specification is proprietary to IBM.
