Description
Port Configuration and Scalability Options
The HPE StoreFabric SN6500B Fibre Channel 48-port managed switch supports several port configuration and scalability options. These include:
- 48 Fibre Channel ports: The switch has 48 Fibre Channel ports that support data transfer rates of up to 16 Gbps. These ports can be configured as either Fibre Channel or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports.
- Port Trunking: The switch supports port trunking, which allows multiple ports to be grouped together to form a single logical link. This increases the bandwidth available for data transfer and provides redundancy in case one of the ports in the trunk fails.
- Port Mirroring: The switch supports port mirroring, which allows data traffic on one port to be duplicated and sent to another port. This is useful for monitoring network traffic and troubleshooting issues.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) policies, which allow you to prioritize different types of traffic and ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need.
- Virtual SANs (VSANs): The switch supports Virtual SANs (VSANs), which allow you to segment the Fibre Channel fabric into multiple isolated logical networks. This allows you to separate different types of traffic and improve security.
- Scalability: The switch is designed to scale with your growing storage needs. The switch supports up to 128 Fibre Channel ports and can be cascaded with other SN6500B switches to increase the number of available ports.
The HPE StoreFabric SN6500B is a high-performance Fibre Channel switch that provides a high-speed and low-latency SAN fabric solution that can be used to connect servers, storage systems and other devices to a Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN). It is designed for deployment in data centers, enterprise and service provider environments.
Security and Compliance Standards Supported
The 720966-001 HPE Storefabric SN6500B Fibre Channel 48 Ports Managed Switch supports a variety of security and compliance standards to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data transmitted over the network. Some of these standards include:
- Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP): This protocol provides secure communication between Fibre Channel devices by authenticating and encrypting data transmission.
- Secure Shell (SSH): This protocol enables secure remote access to the switch’s management interface through the use of encryption for secure data transmission.
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v3: This protocol provides secure management of the switch by using encryption and authentication for secure data transmission.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): This feature allows administrators to define and enforce security policies for controlling access to the switch and its resources.
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): This feature allows administrators to assign roles to users and groups, ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to the switch’s management interface.
- Secure Copy Protocol (SCP): This protocol enables secure file transfer between the switch and other devices by encrypting data transmission.
- IEEE 802.1x: This standard provides port-based network access control by requiring authentication before allowing access to the network.
Advanced Security Features
The HPE Storefabric SN6500B Fibre Channel 48 Ports Managed Switch (part number 720966-001) includes advanced security features to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches. These features include:
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): This feature allows administrators to define and implement security policies that restrict access to specific resources based on user credentials and other attributes.
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): This feature allows administrators to assign roles and responsibilities to different users and groups, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access certain resources.
- Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): These protocols provide secure, encrypted communication between the switch and other network devices, protecting against man-in-the-middle attacks and other forms of eavesdropping.
- IEEE 802.1x Authentication: This standard allows the switch to authenticate users and devices based on their network credentials, preventing unauthorized access to the switch and its resources.
- Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Support: This feature allows administrators to create multiple isolated networks on the switch, reducing the risk of data breaches and other security incidents.
- Advanced Event Management: This feature allows the switch to detect and alert administrators of potential security threats, such as unauthorized access attempts or network anomalies.
- Firmware Security: This feature allows the switch to protect its firmware and operating system from unauthorized access and modification, ensuring that the switch remains secure and reliable.
