6. M Aware Network Automation eliminates the manual configuration of port profiles when a VM is added to the fabric or moved providing an additional level of automation The VCS fabric directly communicates with VMware vCenter automatically downloading all port profile information and the associated MAC address and distributes the VM specific information to all switches within the fabric When the VM moves no additional configuration is required Automatic Migration of Port Profiles During a VM migration network switch ports must be dynamically configured to ensure that the VM traffic experiences consistent policies and configurations The Brocade Automatic Migration of Port Profiles AMPP feature enables a seamless migration since the VCS fabric is aware of port profiles and automatically tracks them as they move Implemented in a hypervisor agnostic manner port profiles and MAC address mapping are created on any switch in the fabric This mapping provides the logical flow for traffic from the source port to the destination port As a VM migrates the destination port in the fabric learns of the MAC address move and automatically activates the port profile configuration within a single fabric or across separate fabrics PROACTIVE MONITORING Brocade Fabric Watch is an innovative switch health monitoring feature available on the Brocade VDX 6710 Fabric Watch monitors the health of certain switch components and based on the t
