Supported Products and FOS Interoperability 48000 with FA4-18 blade(s), Brocade 7600 Mi10k, M6140 (McDATA Fabric Mode and Open Fabric Mode) V6.2.2 or later 5 Not Supported Multi-Protocol Router Interoperability Brocade 7500 and FR4-18i blade McDATA SANRouters 1620 and 2640 V6.2.2 and higher 3 5 7 Not Supported NOS (VDX Platform) Interoperability Brocade VDX6710, VDX6720, VDX6730 Brocade VDX8770 NOS v2.1.1 or later6 NOS 3.0 or later Table Notes: 1 When directly attached to a Host or Target that is part of an encryption flow. 2 These platforms may not be directly attached to hosts or targets for encryption flows. 3 McDATA 1620 and 2640 SANRouters should not be used with FOS-based routing (FCR) for connections to the same edge fabric. 4 FA4-18 is not supported in a DCX/DCX-4S that is running FOS v7.0 or later 5 If operating with FOS v6.2.2e or earlier, Adaptive Networking QoS must be disabled when connecting to 16G FC platform. Otherwise, ISL will segment. 6 Connectivity to FC SAN is established via VDX6730 connected to FCR running FOS v7.0.1 or later. FCR platforms supported include 5100, VA-40FC, 5300, 7800, DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-8, DCX 8510-4, 6510, 6520 (requires FOS v7.1 or later). For higher FCR backbone scalability (refer to separate "Brocade SAN Scalability Guidelines" documentation for details), please use 5300, 6520, DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-8, and DCX 8510-4. 7 FR4-18i and FC10-6 are not supported on DCX/DCX-4S on FOS v7.1 or later. 8 Brocade 8000 is not supported with FOS v7.2 or later. 9 Represents the earliest major FOS version. These embedded platforms running respective dedicated FOS versions can also interoperate with FOS v7.2. Zoning Compatibility Note: Users are recommended to upgrade to the following versions of firmware when interoperating with a switch running FOS v7.0 or later in the same layer 2 fabric to overcome some of the zoning operations restrictions that otherwise exist: Main code level FOS v6.2 FOS v6.3 Patch code levels with full zoning compatibility FOS v6.2.2d or later FOS v6.3.2a or later Fabric OS v7.3.0a Release Notes v2.0 Page 25 of 55

When directly attached to a Host or Target that is part of an encryption flow.
2
These platforms may not be directly attached to hosts or targets for encryption flows.
3
McDATA 1620 and 2640 SANRouters should not be used with FOS-based routing (FCR) for connections to the same
edge fabric.
4
FA4-18 is not supported in a DCX/DCX-4S that is running FOS v7.0 or later
