FCIP platforms and supported features
There are five Brocade platforms that support FCIP:
• The Brocade 7800 switch.
• The FX8-24 blade (DCX, DCX4S chassis).
• The 7500E switch.
• The 7500 switch.
• The FR4-18i blade (DCX, DCX4S, 48000 chassis).
There are differences in platform capabilities. For example, the 7500/7500E switch and FR4-18i
blade cannot support FCIP trunking.
Table 1
summarizes FCIP capabilities per platform.
