IBM Supervisor-4 module
The Supervisor-4 Module is designed specifically for the SAN768C-6, SAN384C-6 and SAN192C-6 directors. This supervisor module delivers the latest advanced switching technology and resources.
The IBM c-type SAN director Supervisor-4 Module provides control and management functions for the IBM c-type SAN Directors and enables intelligent, resilient, scalable, and high-performance multilayer SAN switching. The IBM c-type SAN director Supervisor-4 Module is supported on the SAN768C-6, SAN384C-6 and SAN192C-6 Multilayer Directors. The IBM c-type SAN director Supervisor-4 Module is supported from NX-OS Release 8.4(1) or later on the IBM SAN384C-6 and the IBM SAN192C-6, and NX-OS Release 8.4(2a), or later, on the IBM SAN768C-6.
This supervisor module supports the following features:
- Supports up to 768 4/8/16/32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports in a single SAN768C-6 Multilayer Director chassis
- 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)
