Another topic on the blueprint. I'll only include security features that are specific to the MDS. Shared features with the Nexus platform will be added to the Nexus post.
FC Domain Parameters
The CCIE DC blueprint lists this as a topic so I need to give it some attention. I'm not really sure if I understand the scope of what I need to learn, but it can't hurt to start with the 'fcdomain' configuration command.
Nexus Configuration Summary Notes
The intent of this post is to provide some short guidance for configuring Nexus products.
Enhanced Zoning and Other Zoning Notes
From what I've read so far, Enhanced Zoning seems complex and tricky enough to have a post dedicated to it. I'll write down some notes and do some lab testing so that I understand it well.
FC IP Services
I'm kicking myself for not getting MDS 9216i Switches instead of 9216a. Appears that the 9216i variant supports IP services like FCIP and ISCSI on the last two ports. I still may get an IP SSM module for one of the 9216a's so that I can get comfortable with IP services. In the meantime, I'll post some notes below for future reference.
