Sorting Security Policy Member List  In a strict fabric wide consistency policy, if the security policy members are not in the same order, a newly joined switch will be segmented. To avoid segmentation of ports due to member list order mismatch, the security policy members are sorted by default. Newly added members to existing policies will also be sorted. FCIP Enhancements FOS v7.1 implements the following FCIP features and enhancements: Virtual Fabrics (VF) support on the Brocade 7800 FOS v7.1 adds Virtual Fabrics (VF) support on the 7800 platform with support for up to four logical switches. However, the 7800 VF configuration does not support Base Switch functionality or XISL usage. Enable IP Security on XGE0 of an FX8-24 blade FOS v7.1 adds IPsec support for the XGE0 port of an FX8-24 blade. This enables creation of IP Security enabled FCIP tunnels on VE ports 12-21 of an FX8-24 blade. Please note that this functionality requires the new FX8-24 hardware SKU that supports this functionality. FCIP Tunnel TCP Statistics Monitoring Enhancements In FOS v7.1 two new sub-options (reset and lifetime) have been added to the "portshow fciptunnel" and "portshow fcipcircuit" commands. The "--reset" option allows the user to start a new statistical checkpoint for the tunnel, circuits and the TCP connections while the "--lifetime" option allows the user to see statistics related to the lifetime of the tunnel, circuits and TCP connections. These enhancements allow users to see statistics that represent a specific time period for tunnel(s), circuit(s) and TCP connections. FCIP Enforcement of ED_TOV (Error Detection Time Out Value) for FC frames Starting with FOS v7.1, FCIP will enforce an internal queue time limit (of 2 seconds) for all FCIP received FC frames to address issues in congested networks. This ensures that no old FC sequences will be forwarded to the destination if the age (queue time) of the FC frame on an FCIP FC send queue exceeds 2 seconds. CLI to Display GE Port Errors FOS v7.1 implements a new command gePortErrShow that shows GE ports and their statistics. FCIP RASlog Enhancements FOS v7.1 implements the following FCIP RASlog enhancements:  Improved FCIP RASlog messages in a Virtual Fabrics environment  FCIP RASlogs to be logged against the correct Logical Switch or chassis  Minimize the creation of FICON Emulation RASlog messages (applies to the FICN-XXXX RASlog messages) Scalability Enhancements  Support for up to 2MB zone database in a fabric with only DCX/DCX-4S/DCX8510 systems (the presence of any other platform in the fabric will limit the maximum zone database to 1MB for the entire fabric). Fabric Services Enhancements FOS v7.1 implements various fabric services enhancements in the following areas:  Zoning enhancements Fabric OS v7.1.0a Release Notes v1.0 Page 9 of 41
