*
The feature is available, but not tested or supported.
1
Requires M-EOS 9.7 or later for redirection between devices attached to FOS switches, M-EOS 9.8
for redirection between devices attached to M-EOS switches, M-EOS 9.9 for use in McDATA Open
Fabric Mode. Supported EOS platforms include M4400, M4700, M6140, and Mi10K.
2
Allowed only between FOS-based switches.
3
DPS is supported outbound from FOS-based switches. M-EOS can provide reciprocal load balancing
using Open Trunking.
4
SCC policies are supported only in conjunction with L2 Fabric Binding.
5
Not supported in FOS 6.0 or later.
6
Mode 3 is qualified only with M-EOS switches.
7
Not on FCR.
8
Supported only locally on the FOS switch.
9
All routers (EX_Ports) must reside in a backbone fabric running in interopmode 0 only. Only edge
fabrics with devices imported to the backbone fabric or other edge fabrics can operate in interopmode
2 or 3.
10
To support Frame Reduction to an M-EOS edge fabric, there must be at least one FOS switch in the
edge fabric to configure Frame Redirection zones.
11
Only Frame Reduction zones can be configured on FOS platforms and sent to fabrics operating in
McDATA Open Fabric Mode (interopmode 3). M-EOS 9.9 is required to support Frame Reduction
zones in McDATA Open Fabric Mode.
NOTE:
FICON Cascaded CUP is qualified on select platforms only.
