Configuring FICON
Fibre Connection (FICON) interface capabilities enhance the Cisco MDS 9000 Family by supporting
both open systems and mainframe storage network environments. Inclusion of Control Unit Port (CUP)
support further enhances the MDS offering by allowing in-band management of the switch from FICON
processors.
The fabric binding feature helps prevent unauthorized switches from joining the fabric or disrupting
current fabric operations. The Registered Link Incident Report ((RLIR) application provides a method
for a switchport to send a LIR to a registered Nx-port.
