Fazal - Brocade San Switch

Unit Objectives
After completing this unit, you should be able to:

Plan for the implementation of the IBM TotalStorage SAN
switches and directors (b-type, m-type, n-type), and the Cisco
directors and switches by reviewing default configuration
parameters and tailoring options
List the steps necessary to set up and use the TotalStorage
SAN Switch Specialist, the McDATA EFC Manager, the CNT
Enterprise Manager, or the Cisco Fabric Manager user
interfaces
Describe switch port interfaces and port initialization
Interpret topology, routing, and trunking data displayed by switch
management interfaces
Plan and implement switch zoning to restrict any-to-any data
access and ensure resource access integrity

Unit Summary
Having completed this unit, you should be able to:

Plan for the implementation of the IBM TotalStorage SAN
switches and directors (b-type, m-type, n-type), and the Cisco
directors and switches by reviewing default configuration
parameters and tailoring options
List the steps necessary to set up and use the TotalStorage
SAN Switch Specialist, the McDATA EFC Manager, the CNT
Enterprise Manager, or the Cisco Fabric Manager user
interfaces
Describe switch port interfaces and port initialization
Interpret topology, routing, and trunking data displayed by switch
management interfaces
Plan and implement switch zoning to restrict any-to-any data
access and ensure resource access integrity
