Supported configurations for FC-FC routing

FC-FC routing supports the following configurations:
•
•
•
•
•
•
In configurations with two backbone fabrics connected to the same edge fabric, routing is not
supported between edge fabrics that are not directly attached to the same backbone fabric.
Routing over multiple backbone fabrics is a multi-hop topology and is not allowed.
In an edge fabric that contains a mix of administrative domain (AD)-capable switches and switches
that are not aware of AD, the FC router must be connected directly to an AD-capable switch. For
more information, refer to
page 485.
VEX edge to VEX edge device sharing is not supported.

FC router interoperating with legacy FC routers (Brocade 7500 switch or FR4-18i blade).
"Use of Admin Domains with LSAN zones and FC-FC routing"
All of the platforms listed in
FC-FC routing to a Brocade Network OS fabric, except for the following:
-
Brocade Encryption Switch
-
FR4-18i Router Blade
VEX_Ports do not support Network OS connectivity.
FCoE devices connected to a Brocade 8000 switch or FCOE10-24 blade cannot communicate
with FCoE devices in the Network OS fabric.
If Admin Domains are enabled, connectivity between the Fabric OS fabric and a Brocade
Network OS fabric is not supported.
Connectivity between a Brocade Network OS fabric and an M-EOS fabric is not supported.
