scope:

NEN-ISO/IEC 24775-7 defines management profiles for Autonomous (top level) profiles for programs and devices whose central function is providing support for storage networking. This standard includes four autonomous profiles: - Fabric This profile defines the model and functions of a storage network including topology and zoning control. - Switch This profile defines the model and functions of a Fibre Channel Switch including state, status, and control of the device and its connections and product information, - Extender This profile defines the model and functions of a networking device that allows for fibre channel to be extended over other networks, and specifically over IP (FCIP). - iSCSI to FC Gateway This profile defines the model and functions of a networking device that maps and switches iSCSI frames from an IP network to a fibre channel fabric.
