Overview FOS v7.4.1a is a patch release based on FOS v7.4.1. All hardware platforms and features supported in FOS v7.4.1 are also supported in FOS v7.4.1a. This release contains fixes for defects. Enhancements and Resolution of Important Defects DEFECT000576282 - Brocade switches hareboot due to Out of Memory (OOM) condition. •...
vTap supports automatic discovery of Analytic F_Port (AF_Port) when a Brocade Analytics Monitoring Platform is attached to the fabric. An AF_Port is a mirror port on the Analytics Monitoring Platform designated as the destination of information sent from vTap-enabled ports on a fabric switch.
FOS v7.4 New Feature Descriptions New Hardware Support FOS v7.4 adds support for the following new hardware: Brocade-branded 4GB external USB flash drive • IP Extension features for Brocade 7840 FOS v7.4 introduces IP Extension support for the Brocade 7840. Users can use this capability to extend IP storage for replication and disaster recovery in much the same way as Fibre Channel storage while taking advantage of the compression, encryption, QoS, and trunking features available in the Brocade 7840.
Untagged and single tagged packets are supported. • Stacked/double (IEEE 802.1ad) tagged packets from hosts are not supported. Packets will be dropped. • Traffic Control List FOS v7.4 supports Traffic Control List (TCL) to manage and route IP flows. Each TCL is identified by a unique user configured name.
Monitor FCIP circuit QoS FOS v7.4 enhances FCIP QoS monitoring in MAPS to add monitoring of Fibre Channel QoS parameters at circuit level. The circuit QoS monitoring combined with the tunnel QoS monitoring available since FOS v7.3 provides additional granularity to monitor the FCIP link performance. Monitor FCIP circuit RTT and jitter on 7800 and FX8-24 MAPS monitors circuit round trip time (RTT) and jitter statistics in FOS v7.3 on Brocade 7840.
Scalability Improvement FOS v7.4 increases the scalability limit supported by Flow Vision. In particular, the total number of sub-flows supported by chassis switches is increased to 2048 and by fixed port switches is increased to 512. Identify All Devices in a Flow FOS v7.4 supports displaying all zoned devices in a flow by introducing a new option -allzoned to the Flow Vision command.
FCR enhancements FOS v7.4 has a number of enhancements in FCR. These enhancements include: Location Embedded LSAN zone FOS v7.4 introduces the location-embedded LSAN zone feature. A location-embedded LSAN zone specifies in the LSAN zone name the remote fabric ID that shares devices. The corresponding FCR switch will use this information in the LSAN zone names to store only these entries for the locally connected edge fabric.
Time Server Enhancements FOS v7.4 enhances Time Server to support Network Time Protocol (NTP) server configuration distribution to Access Gateway switches. This enhancement allows AGs, including cascaded AG connections, to receive the same NTP server configuration from a connected fabric. SNMP Enhancements FOS v7.4 implements the following SNMP enhancements.
Firmware Integrity Check FOS v7.4 introduces a firmwareCheck CLI command to check the integrity of firmware packages already installed on the switch. If any of the files or packages as part of firmware has been changed, the firmware integrity check will fail and notify users which package has failed the check. Challenge-Response Authentication FOS v7.4 introduces support for SSH servers configured with “keyboard-interactive”...
TI Failover Disabled Zone Message FOS v7.4 adds a RASLOG message ZONE-1060 to warn users if the TI zone dedicated path is the only path available between two domain IDs. FICON Enhancements FOS v7.4 adds the following FICON related enhancements : MAPS notification to FMS CUP FOS v7.4 supports a new MAPS FICON notification action.
portStatsShow Command Display TXQ Latency FOS v7.4 enhances the portStatsShow CLI command to display the ASIC transmit queue (TXQ) latency information for each virtual channel (VC). Support De-bouncing of Loss of Signal for Fixed Speed and Auto Negotiate Ports FOS v7.4 expands loss of signal de-bouncing for both fixed-speed and auto-negotiated ports in any port state. FOS v7.4 adds a “mode 2”...
Optionally Licensed Software Fabric OS v7.4 includes all basic switch and fabric support software, as well as optionally licensed software that is enabled via license keys. Optionally licensed features include: Brocade Ports on Demand Brocade Ports on Demand Brocade Ports on Demand Brocade Ports on Demand —...

FOS Migration Considerations This section contains important details to consider before migrating to or from this FOS release. FOS Upgrade and Downgrade Special Considerations 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.
Important Notes This section contains information that you should consider before you use this Fabric OS release. Brocade Network Advisor Compatibility Brocade Network Advisor greatly simplifies the steps involved in daily operations while improving the performance and reliability of the overall SAN and IP networking environment.

If FOS v7.2 or later is factory installed (or by firmwarecleaninstall), Adaptive Networking features are • always available. This matches the behavior of the Brocade 6520 and all products shipping with prior versions of FOS and with the Adaptive Networking license factory installed. Ports will come up in AE mode by default If the remote port supports QOS and is not explicitly disabled, the link will come up in QOS mode.
Logical Switches and the Default Switch. Any Gen 5 ports (Condor3 based) assigned to that Logical Switch will be configured with that Logical Switch’s EHT setting. Any 8G ports (Condor2 based) will continue to share the EHT value configured for the Default Switch. For more information on EHT behaviors and recommendations, refer to the Brocade SAN Fabric Resiliency Best Practices v2.0 document available on www.brocade.com.
FCIP (Brocade 7800 and FX8-24) Any firmware activation will disrupt I/O traffic on FCIP links. • Latency measurements supported on FCIP Tunnels:1GbE & 10GbE - 200ms round trip time and 1% loss. • After inserting a 4G SFP in GE ports of an FX8-24 blade or 7800 switch, sometimes “sfpshow” output •...
FCoE/DCB/CEE (FCOE10-24) When upgrading a DCX/DCX-4S with one or more FCOE10-24 blades from FOS v6.x to FOS v7.0.0 or later, • the user should carefully review Chapter 5 of the FOS v7.0.0 Converged Enhanced Ethernet Administrator’s Guide. Ethernet L2 traffic with xSTP Hello timer set to less than or equal to 3 seconds may experience momentary •...
Ethernet switch services must be explicitly enabled using the command “fosconfig –enable ethsw” before • powering on an FCOE10-24 blade. Failure to do so will cause the blade to be faulted (fault 9). Users can enable ethsw after upgrading firmware without FC traffic interruption. Upgrading firmware on a DCX or DCX-4S with one or more FCOE10-24 blades from FOS v6.4.1_fcoe1 to •...
To connect between a switch and an HBA at 16 Gbps, both sides must be in the same mode (fixed speed, • and FEC on or off) for them to communicate at that rate. If only one port has FEC enabled, neither port will be able to see the other.
Example Output: 36ed40 In_Sync Disabled (Port Throttled) 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.
