Interoperability
The Embedded Switch Module supports interoperability for the following functions:
• Link initialization
• Principle Embedded Switch Module selection
• Routing (FSPF)
• Simple Name Service
• State change notification
• Soft WWN zoning
• SNMP facilities
• Translative mode (private target support on fabrics)
• Trunking (between two Brocade switches)
• Advanced Performance Monitoring
