Table Notes:
1
When routing to an M-EOS edge fabric using frame redirection, the M-EOS fabric must have a FOS-based product in
order to configure the frame redirection zone information in the edge fabric.
2
When directly attached to a Host or Target that is part of an encryption flow.
3
These platforms may not be directly attached to hosts or targets for encryption flows.
4
McDATA 1620 and 2640 SANRouters should not be used with
FOS-based routing (FCR) for connections to the same
edge fabric.
5
FA4-18 is not supported in a DCX/DCX-4S that is running FOS v7.0 or later
6
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.
