1.
When directly attached to a Host or Target that is part of an encryption flow.
These platforms may not be directly attached to hosts or targets for encryption flows.
2.
McDATA 1620 and 2640 SANRouters should not be used with FOS-based routing (FCR) for connections to
3.
the same edge fabric.
4.
FA4-18 is not supported in a DCX/DCX-4S that is running FOS v7.0 or later
5.
If operating with FOS v6.2.2e
FOS v6.2.2e
FOS v6.2.2e
FOS v6.2.2e or earlier, Adaptive Networking QoS must be disabled when connecting to 16G
FC platform. Otherwise, ISL will segment.
Connectivity to FC SAN is established via VDX6730 connected to FCR running FOS v7.0.1 or later. FCR
6.
platforms supported include 5100, VA-40FC, 5300, 7800, DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-8, DCX 8510-4, 6510,
6520 (requires FOS v7.1 or later). For higher FCR backbone scalability (refer to separate "Brocade SAN
Scalability Guidelines" documentation for details), please use 5300, 6520, DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-8, and
DCX 8510-4.
7.
FR4-18i and FC10-6 are not supported on DCX/DCX-4S on FOS v7.1 or later.
8.
Brocade 8000 is not supported with FOS v7.2 or later.
Represents the earliest major FOS version. These embedded platforms running respective dedicated FOS
9.
versions can also interoperate with FOS v7.3.
Zoning Compatibility Note:
Users are recommended to upgrade to the following versions of firmware when interoperating with a switch
running FOS v7.0 or later in the same layer 2 fabric to overcome some of the zoning operations restrictions
that otherwise exist:
Main code level
Patch code levels with full zoning compatibility
FOS v6.2
FOS v6.2.2d or later
FOS v6.3
FOS v6.3.2a or later
FOS v6.4
FOS v6.4.1 or later
If there are switches running FOS versions lower than the above listed patch levels in the same fabric as a
switch with FOS v7.0 or later, then cfgsave and cfgenable operations initiated
the zoning database is greater than 128KB. In such scenarios zoning operations such as cfgsave/cfgenable
can still be performed successfully if initiated from a switch running FOS v7.0 or later.
SNMP Support
FOS v7.4.0 documents the supported MIBs in the Fabric OS MIB Reference document.
For information about SNMP support in Fabric Operating System (FOS) and how to use MIBs, see the Fabric
OS Administrator's Guide.
