• Supports up to 384 4/8/16/32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports in a single SAN384C-6 Multilayer Director
chassis
• Supports up to 192 4/8/16/32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports in a single SAN192C-6 Multilayer Director
chassis
• Supports up to 48-Tbps in a single SAN768C-6 Multilayer Director chassis
• Supports up to 24-Tbps in a single SAN384C-6 Multilayer Director chassis
• Supports up to 12-Tbps in a single SAN192C-6 Multilayer Director chassis
• Supports Crossbar Fabric-3 switching module on the SAN768C-6 (AJND), SAN384C-6 (AJNB) and
SAN192C-6 (AJN9) Multilayer Directors respectively
• Multipathing based on Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF)
• Nondisruptive software upgrades
• Provides high availability. The IBM c-type SAN directors Supervisor-4 Module can automatically restart
failed processes, making it exceptionally robust. In the rare event that a supervisor module is reset,
complete synchronization between the active and standby supervisor modules helps ensure a stateful
failover with no disruption of traffic.
• Supports Secure Boot capabilities
• Supports two USB 3.0 ports
• Network management through the command-line interface (CLI) and through Data Center Network
Manager (DCNM)
• Extensive security features including RADIUS and TACACS+, Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP),
Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol, and Simple Network Management
Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) implementing Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), VSANs, hardware-
enforced zoning, ACLs, and per-VSAN role-based access control
• Integrated hardware-based virtual SAN (VSAN) technology and inter-VSAN routing (IVR)
• Network services such as access control lists (ACLs) and quality of service (QoS)
• Smart zoning
• Power-on self-test (POST) and diagnostics
• Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) and Remote Switched Port Analyzer (RSPAN)
