14 McDATA-unaware features TABLE 66 Complete feature compatibility matrix (Continued) Feature Support Notes Open E_Port Yes Autonegotiates the R_RDY mode by default. Uses portCfgIsMode to static configure the port. Port mirroring Yes Fabric OS v6.2.0 and later supports 8 Gbps port mirroring. SNMP Yes Speed negotiation Yes syslog daemon Yes QoS Trunking Value Line Options (Static POD, DPOD) Virtual fabrics No • Frame-level ISL Trunking from Fabric OS to Fabric OS: Yes; McDATA Fabric mode only • Frame-level ISL Trunking from Fabric OS to M-EOS: No • Load balancing from Fabric OS to Fabric OS using DLS or DPS: Yes • Load balancing from Fabric OS to M-EOS using DLS or DPS: Yes Yes Yes Web Tools Zoning Yes Yes for McDATA Fabric mode only Launch from DCFM with non fabric-wide configuration. Allows fabric-wide activation of zone configurations in McDATA Fabric mode and McDATA Open Fabric mode. No zoning management in Fabric OS switch except cfgClear and cfgDisable after a switch is disabled. Regular zones cannot be configured on Fabric OS switches. M-EOS feature limitations in mixed fabrics The following features have inherent limitations: • Port number offset Some M-EOS switches assign PIDs with an area field (the middle byte of the PID) that has an offset of four added to the port number. This means, for example, that the physical port number (zero) 0 has an address value used in the PID of 4. The port number offset is conveyed between the neighboring switches through the ESS ILS (Exchange Security Attributes), allowing neighboring switches to accurately identify port numbers and their associated PIDs. The maximum port number is also available in the ESS ILS. 322 Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 53-1001336-01
