Table Notes:
1
When routing to an M-EOS edge fabric using frame redirection, the M-EOS fabric must have a FOS-based product in
order to configure the frame redirection zone information in the edge fabric.
2
When directly attached to a Host or Target that is part of an encryption flow.
3
These platforms may not be directly attached to hosts or targets for encryption flows.
4
McDATA 1620 and 2640 SANRouters should not be used with
FOS-based routing (FCR) for connections to the same
edge fabric.
