Port Mirroring
Port Mirroring is not supported on the Brocade 7800.

Virtual Fabrics
When creating Logical Fabrics that include switches that are not Virtual Fabrics capable, it is possible to
•
have two Logical Switches with different FIDs in the same fabric connected via a VF incapable switch.
Extra caution should be used to verify the FIDs match for all switches in the same Logical Fabric.
A switch with Virtual Fabrics enabled may not participate in a fabric that is using Password Database
•
distribution or Administrative Domains. The Virtual Fabrics feature must be disabled prior to deploying in a
fabric using these features.
ISL R_RDY mode is not supported in a base switch with FOS version 7.0 or higher.
•
WebTools
WebTools since FOS v7.1.0 has a "SupportSave" interface. It only collects, however, information specific to
•
WebTools. It does not contain the same information as collected by supportSave initiated through CLI or
Brocade Network Advisor.
When launching WebTools on a computer without Internet access, it could take up to 5 minutes to
•
complete because the certificate revocation check performed for the WebTools application takes time to
timeout. Users can turn off the certification revocation check on the Java control panel as a workaround.
FOS v7.4.0 is qualified and supported with Oracle Java version 7 update 76 and Java version 8 update 40,
•
update 45, and update 51. Oracle enforces the latest JRE update to be used to launch WebTools. After JRE
expiration date users will see the message "Your Java version is out of date" when launching WebTools.
Users can either ignore the message by selecting the later option to proceed with launching WebTools, or
install the latest JRE release and then launch WebTools.
Zoning
There are limitations to zoning operations that can be performed from a FOS v6.x switch that is in the
•
same fabric as a FOS v7.0 or later switch if the FOS v6.x switch is not running the recommended firmware
version. Please see Fabric OS Interoperability section for details.
Peer zoning and target driven zoning should be used in a fabric with all switches running FOS v7.4 or later.
•
If peer zones have been created in a mixed fabric with switches running FOS v7.3 and FOS 7.4, peer
zones created with FOS 7.4 switch are distributed to FOS 7.3 switches. When the FOS v7.3 switches are
upgraded to FOS v7.4, traffic disruption may occur on these switches.
Read Diagnostics Parameters
RDP on FOS v7.4 is not compatible with RDP on FOS v7.3 switches. FOS v7.3 only supports the Read
•
Diagnostics Parameters (RDP) feature between Brocade switches both running FOS v7.3.
Link Cable Beaconing
The Link Cable Beaconing (LCB) feature on FOS v7.4 is not compatible with the implementation in FOS
•
v7.3.0 – FOS v7.3.0c. LCB is only supported on ISLs between two Brocade switches both running FOS
v7.3.0 – FOS v7.3.0c, or both running FOS v7.3.1 or above.Support with third party vendor devices is only
available with FOS v7.3.1 or above with fix for defect 540720.
