Product, Port, and LAG Deployment
Comments
You cannot copy legacy
configurations to FOS version 7.0
switches, because these switches
support FCoE maps and can have
only one default DCB map. Legacy
FOS switches, however, can have
more than one default map.
Both the source and the target
support only one default DCB map.
You can copy QoS, LLDP, and
802.1x configurations from the
source to the target.
VLAN classifiers are supported, but
the FCoE map is not supported on
FOS 7.0.0.
Both source and target switches
must support the FCoE map and
VLAN classifiers.
Both source and target switches
must support the FCoE map and
VLAN classifiers.
