Optional Brocade Features
Optional Brocade features include:
Advanced Performance Monitoring
Enables more effective end-to-end SAN performance analysis to enhance
performance tuning, increase productivity, optimize resource utilization, and
reduce costs.
Extended Fabrics Supports the reliable, high-speed connectivity of SilkWorm switches over dark
fiber or Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) equipment at distances up
to 500 kilometers to enhance business continuance operations.
Fabric Watch Continuously monitors SAN fabrics for potential faults based on thresholds set
for a variety of SAN fabric elements and events—automatically alerting
administrators to potential problems before they become costly failures.
ISL Trunking Optimizes the performance and availability of SAN fabrics while simplifying
ISL management. Two 4 Gbit/sec SilkWorm switches can automatically group up
to eight ISLs into a single logical “trunk” with a total throughput of up to
32 Gbit/sec.
Advanced Zoning Automatically groups SAN fabric-connected devices into logical zones that
restrict access to “member” devices in the zone. Advanced Zoning uses hardware
enforcement at both the port and WWN level to provide more robust data
protection.
Secure Fabric OS Provides a comprehensive security solution to help protect mission-critical data.
Key features include centralized policy-based security management,
management data encryption, and authentication to create a fabric-wide trusted
environment with control over all levels of fabric access and communication.

Port Side
Externally accessible ports and LEDs are on the port side of the switch. The port side faces out when the
switch is inserted into a . Figure 1-1 details the switch’s port side. For a complete description of the
locations and interpretations of these LEDs, see “Interpreting LED Activity” on page 4-4.
The insertion arm is located just above the port side of the SilkWorm 4016 and ends with a plastic
handle, accessible at the front of the port side of the switch. This arm is used to remove and insert the
unit as described in “Inserting a SilkWorm 4016 into the Chassis” on page 2-2.

SFPs
The SilkWorm 4016 was designed to work with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical modules and
ships with up to six SWL SFPs. SFPs provide optical connections to external devices for both SWL and
LWL connections. SFPs are replaced using a new pluggable unit rather than having to replace the
switch. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions when installing SFPs.
“Removing and Replacing the SilkWorm 4016” on page 4-5 provides details about removing SFPs from
the SilkWorm 4016.
For a complete list of SFPs and other interoperable hardware, visit the Brocade Connect Web site at:

and follow the links to the latest compatibility matrix. From the main page, select Technical Resource
Center, then Documentation Library. Finally, choose Compatibility and Scalability Information.
