E/OSc versus E/OSn and E/OSi - Fibre Channel Protocol-Related Differences
Table B-2
Feature
Reroute delay behavior With reroute delay enabled, the
destination route point is cleared
and a delay equal to the error
detect time-out value (ED_TOV)
is applied before a new route is
programmed. During the delay,
Class 3 frames are dropped.
Switch internal link SW_ILS sequences transmitted
services (SW_ILS) on up to eight interswitch links
during fabric build (ISLs) per neighbor switch.

Feature
Command line interface CLI supports a
(CLI) scope and syntax configuration-related subset of
product features.
EFCM Basic Edition HTML-based EFCM Basic
interface Edition interface supported.
Proprietary MIB support Proprietary MIB interface
supports a configuration-related
subset of product features.
E/OSc 8.0
With reroute delay enabled, the
Intrepid 10000 Director first
pauses incoming port traffic and
applies a delay to allow frames
internal to the director to be
transmitted. This delay during
route reprogramming prevents
frames being sent out of order.
SW_ILS sequences transmitted
only on the primary ISL to a
neighbor switch. However, if the
domain identifier assigned (DIA)
link service is enabled, the
Intrepid 10000 Director floods all
ISLs. This reduces Class F traffic
in a large fabric.
Table B-3 summarizes management-related differences between the
E/OSc 8.0, E/OSn 6.0, and E/OSi 4.6 firmware versions.
E/OSc 8.0
Exhaustive CLI command set
supported, including all
configurable features of the
Intrepid 10000 Director. Different
in syntax and semantics from
E/OSc and E/OSi CLIs.
EFCM Basic Edition interface not
supported.
Proprietary MIB interface
exhaustive and supports all
configurable features of the
Intrepid 10000 Director.
E/OSn 6.0
Reroute delay not supported.
SW_ILS sequences not
supported.
E/OSn 6.0
Exhaustive CLI command set
supported, including all
configurable features of SAN
routers. Different in syntax and
semantics from E/OSc and
E/OSn CLIs.
EFCM Basic Edition interface not
supported. Embedded Element
Manager application is a Java
applet, not HTML-based.
Proprietary MIB interface
exhaustive and supports all
configurable features of SAN
routers.
