Remarks
E-port utilizes one Login, reduce the
number by one for each e-port
connected switch. FSPF for hop by hop
routing, static route support, up to 255
routes. The maximum number of static
routes allowed in a VSAN is 256.
Virtual SANs with overlapping address
space up to 16. The maximum number
of VSANs, including the default VSAN,
allowed on a switch is 16.
Virtual FC interfaces up to 512 per
switch.
Each soft zone can have as many
members as necessary; recommend
utilization of I-T zones. You can
configure a maximum of 4000 zones
for all VSANs on a switch.
Limited by port entry rules, assuming I-T
members per zone.
You can configure a maximum of 4000
zone aliases for all VSANs on a switch.
You can configure a maximum of 128
zone sets for all VSANs on a switch.
You can configure a maximum of 4000
zone member alias names
NPIV support with up to 127 VN_Ports
per VF_port.
NPIV support with up to 127 VN_Ports
per VF_port.
Default value set during link
initialization.
Similar to an FC switch, each FCF
switch is assigned a domain ID. Each
FC SAN supports a maximum number
of 239 domain IDs, so an FC SAN
cannot have more than 239 switches.
Ethernet only configuration.
The IRF fabric might run other protocols
, for example, CFD, VRRP, FCoE, and
OSPF, that have a shorter protocol
packet lifetime than the delay interval.
For stable protocol running, make sure
the delay interval is shorter than the
maximum lifetime of these protocol
packets. You can adjust either the IRF
link down report delay or the maximum
lifetime of the protocol packets.
Storage configuration recommends one
VSAN per member switch and no
common VSANs for member switches
