This allows customers the flexibility of automatically changing port assignments where previously the port assignments were fixed and inflexible.

The addition of the secAdmin role allows users to isolate security management from complete Administrator management. Security Secure Fabric OS is no longer sold as an option, but integrated into Fabric OS 5.3.0 and later. IMPORTANT: Fabric OS 5.3.0 is the last major release that is compatible with SFOS. 6
