Table notes:
1
All zoning and fabric operations in a fabric with products running older versions of Fabric OS
should be performed using interfaces to products running the latest version of Fabric OS. This is
important for Brocade 3
xxx
series switches that do not support zoning configuration for newer
products.
2
Other M-EOS models can participate in a fabric with Fabric OS 6.4, but cannot be directly
attached via an E_Port to any products running Fabric OS 6.4. For information about HP support

4
When routing to an M-EOS edge fabric using frame redirection, the fabric must have a Fabric
OS-based product in order to configure the frame redirection zone information.
5
When directly attached to a host or target that is part of an encryption flow.
6
Products operating with Fabric OS versions earlier than 5.3.1b or 6.1.0e cannot participate in
a logical fabric that is using XISLs (in the base fabric).
7
These platforms cannot be directly attached to hosts or targets for encryption flows.
8
SANRouters 1620 and 2640 should not be used with XPath or Fabric OS-based routing (FCR)
for connections to the same edge fabric.
