Fabric OS v6.4.1 Release Notes v1.0 Page 30 of 62

Integrated Routing

• To allow Hot Code Load on a Brocade 5100 when using Integrated Routing, the edge switch

connected to the 5100 must be running Fabric OS v6.1 or later code.

• Integrated Routing EX_Ports are only supported in the base switch on a switch with VF enabled.

• Integrated Routing and TopTalkers (Fabric Mode) are not concurrently supported. To use

Integrated Routing, be sure to disable Fabric Mode TopTalkers prior to configuring EX_Ports first.

Native Connectivity

• FOS-based platforms operating in interopmodes 2 or 3 should never be deployed in a fabric

without at least one M-series switch. FOS switches in interopmode 3 (McDATA Open Fabric Mode)

do not support configuration of zoning without an M-series switch in the fabric. When migrating

from M-series to B-series switches, all B-series switches should be configured to interopmode 0

(Brocade Native mode) once the last M-series switch has been removed from the fabric.

• M-EOSc switches may exhibit a behavior where they block all attached devices with a reason

indication of “Blocked Temporarily, Internal”. Users that experience this may have power cycled

the M-series switch while it was participating in a fabric with Frame Redirection zoning, a

capability used for FOS-based application or encryption services . If the switch is still participating

in the fabric with Frame Redirection, issue the “cfgsave” command from a Brocade FOS-based

switch with the Frame Redirection zone in its defined zone database. If the M-EOS switch is no

longer attached to the fabric with Frame Redirection zoning, issue the

“Config.Zoning.deleteSplZoneSet” command via CLI to the M-EOS switch.

FCAP

• If VF is enabled on a switch, HTTPS and FCAP certificates should always be imported in the Default

Switch. Certificates imported in a non-Default Switch will not be available after hafailover

operation.

• The pkicert (1.06) utility may cause evm errors, so each new switch should be isolated from the

fabric and placed in non-vf mode to install new certificates.

FICON

•

Refer to Appendix: Additional Considerations for FICON Environments for details and notes for

deployment in FICON environments

FL_Port (Loop) Support

• The FC8-48 and FC8-64 blade support attachment of loop devices in the DCX and DCX-4S.

• Virtual Fabrics must be enabled on the chassis and loop devices may only be attached to ports on

a 48-port or 64-port blade assigned to a non-Default Logical Switch operating with the default 10-

bit addressing mode (they may not be in the default Logical Switch).

• A maximum of 144 ports may be used for connectivity to loop devices in a single Logical Switch

within a chassis in 10-bit dynamic area mode on DCX-4S.

• A maximum of 112 ports may be used for connectivity to loop devices in a single Logical Switch

within a chassis in 10-bit dynamic area mode on DCX.

•

Loop devices continue to be supported when attached to ports on the FC8-16, FC8-32, FC4-16

and FC4-32 blades with no new restrictions

Port Mirroring

• On the Brocade 5300, the port mirroring feature has a limitation where all port mirror resources

must stay within the same ASIC port group. The resources are the configure mirror port, Source

Device, and Destination Device or ISL, if the Destination Device is located on another switch. The
