Overview Fabric OS (FOS) v7.0.2 is a maintenance release based on FOS v7.0.1x. All hardware platforms and features supported in FOS v7.0.1x are also supported in FOS v7.0.2. Resolution of Important Defects • 404780 High count of CRC w/Good EOF errors across multiple card types • 403996 Enhancement needed to link credit loss recovery on 8G platforms FOS v7.0.2 Features FOS v7.0.2 is a maintenance release that contains fixes for defects including those from FOS v7.0.1a and FOS v7.0.1b patch releases. In addition this release includes the following features and enhancements: • D_Port Enhancements o D_Port link saturation capability - ability to drive test traffic to saturate link utilization close to line rate as part of D_Port test • Ability to assign individual ports of an optical ICL to logical switches o Prior to FOS v7.0.2, in Virtual Fabrics enabled environment, an entire ICL port (which includes four individual ports as part of a single QSFP) has to be associated with a single logical switch. Starting with FOS v7.0.2, the individual ports within an optical ICL can be assigned to different logical switches. This feature is applicable to the DCX8510 platforms. Note: Please note that if any individual port of a QSFP is part of the Base Switch, the remaining ports of that QSFP cannot be assigned to any other logical switch. • Bottleneck detection enhancements - Decoupling of latency and congestion alerts In FOS v7.x releases prior to FOS v7.0.2, when users enabled bottleneck alerts, it would enable alerting for both congestion and latency bottleneck conditions. Starting with FOS v7.0.2 users can choose to enable alerts only for latency bottleneck while not enabling alerts for congestion bottleneck or vice versa. Users still have the option to enable alerts for both congestion and latency bottleneck conditions. Fabric OS v7.0.2 Release Notes v1.0 Page 5 of 99
