Important information This section lists information that you should consider before using Directors or Edge Switches running 09.02.00 firmware. Default zone is disabled by default The default zone on the Director and Edge Switches disabled by default. Zoning must be configured in order for devices connected to the Director or Edge Switch to communicate. Some IP addresses must be avoided If you use HAFM to manage Edge Switches and Directors, do not use IP addresses in the range 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255 This subnet is used internally by the HAFM Appliance. Using an IP address in this range causes the Call Home feature to function incorrectly. Using HAFM Basic HAFM Basic requires using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 or Netscape version 7 in order to operate correctly.
