Command Modes Configuration mode. Command History Release 3.0(1) Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines The effects of enabling the FICON feature in a Cisco MDS switch are as follows: • You cannot disable in-order delivery for the FICON-enabled VSAN. • You cannot disable fabric binding or static domain ID configurations for the FICON-enabled VSAN. • The load balancing scheme is changed to Source ID (SID)-Destination ID (DID). You cannot change it back to SID-DID-OXID. • The IPL configuration file is automatically created. When FICON is enabled on a VSAN, it is implicitly enabled everywhere. However, when FICON is disabled on a VSAN, it remains globally enabled. You must explicitly disable FICON to disable it throughout the fabric. Note This command is not supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 switch, the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem, and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter. Examples The following example enables FICON on the switch. switch(config)# ficon enable The following example disables FICON on the switch. switch(config)# no ficon enable Related Commands 8-62 Cisco MDS 9000 Family Command Reference OL-16217-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
