1 Support for Virtual Fabrics Support for Virtual Fabrics The Brocade encryption switch does not support the logical switch partitioning capability and can not be partitioned, but the switch can be connected to any Logical Switch partition or Logical Fabric using an E-Port. The FS8-18 encryption blades are supported in only in a default switch partition All FS8-18 blades must be placed in a default switch partition in DCX or DCX-4S. The encryption resource from default switch partition/fabric can be shared with other logical switch partitions/fabrics or other fabrics only through external device sharing using FCR or EX_Ports through a base switch/fabric. A separate port blade must be used in the base switch/fabric for EX_Port connectivity from the logical switch partition (default switch partition) of FS8-18 blades and host/target fabrics. The EX_Port can be on any external FCR switch. NOTE Please refer to Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for more details on how to configure the DCX and DCX-4S in virtual fabrics environments including configuration of default switch partition and any other logical switch partitions. 12 Fabric OS Encryption Administrator's Guide 53-1001864-01
