Chapter
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide 2
In this chapter

The updates in this section are for the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide, publication number
53-1002920-02, published September 2013.
Chapter 3, Performing Advanced Configuration Tasks

In the section “256-area addressing mode” on page 85, change the ATTENTION statement to 48
port cards instead of 49 port cards. The correct statement is:
ATTENTION
The Brocade DCX and DCX 8510-8 Backbones have safeguards that disable all 48 port cards if
FICON Management Server (FMS) is enabled.
In the section “Enabling forward error correction” on page 111, add the following statement:
Enabling or disabling FEC is disruptive to traffic.
Chapter 7, Configuring Protocols

In the section “Secure Shell protocol” on page 197, add the following:
If you set up a message of the day (MOTD), the MOTD displays either before or after the login
prompt, depending on the SSH client implementation. Fabric OS does not control when the
message displays.
Under the heading “Traps” on page 209, add the following section:
MAPS-TRAP
• mapsTrapAM
Traps to be sent for Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite (MAPS) threshold events.

53-1003064-04
Under the heading ‘Brocade MIB files’, add the following bullet:
• BROCADE-MAPS-MIB.mib
Under the heading ‘MIB loading order’, add the following row to Table 30:
TABLE 30 Brocade SNMP MIB dependencies

Brocade-REG-MIB
SW-MIB
Chapter 12, Administering Advanced Zoning

In the section “Zone database size” on page 362, remove the following note, as it is no longer
applicable:
ATTENTION
In a fabric with some switches running Fabric OS 7.0.0 or later and some switches running
Fabric OS versions earlier than 7.0.0, if you execute the cfgSave or cfgEnable command from a
pre-7.0.0 switch, a zone database size of 128 KB is enforced.
To avoid this problem, use the switch with the latest Fabric OS version to perform zoning tasks,
as described in “Best practices for zoning” on page 343. Alternatively, make sure that your
pre-7.0.0 switches are upgraded with the latest patch release.
Chapter 14, Optimizing Fabric Behavior

In the section “Limitations and restrictions for QoS zone-based traffic prioritization” on page 424,
remove the following bullet:
• Traffic prioritization is not supported on 10-Gbps ISLs.
Chapter 18, NPIV

The section “10-bit addressing mode” on page 474 applies to the DCX 8510 Backbone family as
well as the DCX Backbone family. Change this section to the following:
10-bit addressing mode

The 10-bit addressing mode is the default mode for all the logical switches created in the
Brocade DCX and DCX 8510 Backbone families. The number of NPIV or loop devices supported
on a port is 64.
Table Table 78 shows the number of NPIV devices supported on the Brocade DCX and DCX
8510 Backbone families.

Chapter 17, Diagnostic Port

Starting in Fabric OS 7.2.1, D_Port functionality is supported on 8 Gbps Brocade-branded
LWL/ELWL SFP transceivers.
In the section “Supported platforms for D_Port” on page 460, add the following section:
Supported SFP transceivers

The ports must use Brocade-branded or certain Brocade-qualified SFP transceivers. The
following SFP transceivers are supported:
• 8 Gbps Long Wave Length (LWL)
• 8 Gbps Extended Long Wave Length (ELWL)
• 10 Gbps Fibre Channel
• 16 Gbps
For D_Port functionality with 8 Gbps SFP transceivers, the switch must be running Fabric OS
7.2.1 or later.
To run D_Port tests on a link with 8 Gbps SFP transceivers, both ends of the link must have the
same type of SFP. That is, both ends of the link must have LWL SFPs or both ends must have
ELWL SFPs.
In the section “General limitations and considerations for D_Port” on page 462, add the following
items:
• On 8 Gbps LWL and ELWL SFP transceivers, only link traffic can be run. Electrical and
optical loopback tests are not available on 8 Gbps SFP transceivers.
• On 8 Gbps LWL and ELWL SFP transceivers, if the cable length is less than or equal to 100
meters, the length is displayed as “unknown”. If the cable length is greater than 100
meters, the length is displayed accurately.
• On 8 Gbps LWL and ELWL SFP transceivers, D_Port functionality is not supported if a
Brocade HBA is on the other end of the link.

• In the section “Displaying and deleting decommissioned key IDs” on page 117, the paragraph
notes:
When disk LUNs are decommissioned, the process includes the disabling of the key record in
the key vault and indication that the key has been decommissioned.”
This statement is true for all key vaults except TEKA KMIP. TEKA KMIP does not modify keys
that have been decommissioned.
• In the section, “Displaying Universal IDs” on page 112, after step 4, a NOTE states, "You will
need to export the decommissioned key ID to the key vault." This NOTE is inaccurate and
should be removed. The Key ID/UUID displayed in this dialog is informational, and can be used
to cross reference on the respective key vault where the decommissioned Key ID is manually
deleted.

Fabric OS FCIP Administrator’s Guide 5
In this chapter

The updates in this section are for the Fabric OS FCIP Administrator’s Guide, publication number
53-1002928-01, published July 2013.
Chapter 1, FCIP Concepts and Features

Under “IP WAN network considerations,” the first bullet entry is modified as follows:
• Routers and firewalls that are in the data path must be configured to pass FCIP traffic (TCP
port 3225) and IPsec traffic, if IPsec is used (UDP port 500). The Brocade TCP implementation
selects a port between 49152 and 65535 as the ephemeral (or initiating) port to open up to
port 3225.
Chapter 3, Configuring FCIP

In Table 10, Circuit options:
• Under Adaptive rate limiting (ARL), the correct valid ranges for -min-comm-rate are 10,000
Kbps through 1,000,000 Kbps for GbE ports and 10,000 to 10,000,000 Kbps for 10 GbE
ports (XGE). Add to note that the rate does not need to be an integral value of 1,000,000 and
both sides of the tunnel must have matching configurations.
• Under Adaptive rate limiting (ARL), for -max-comm-rate add to note that the rate does not need
to be an integral value of 1,000,000, the maximum committed rate can be no larger than five
times the minimum committed rate, and both sides of the tunnel must have matching
configurations.

Chapter 3, Connectivity
In the section “Segmented fabrics” on page 37, delete the item “Disable device probing” from the
list of fabric parameters that must be identical for a fabric to merge. The resulting list should be the
following:
The following fabric parameters must be identical on each switch for a fabric to merge:
• R_A_TOV
• E_D_TOV
• Data field size
• Sequence level switching
• Suppress class F traffic
• Per-frame route priority
• Long-distance fabric (not necessary on Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, 6505, 6510, 6520, and the
Brocade DCX 8510 Backbone families; for more information regarding these product
types, refer to Appendix A, “Switch Type and Blade ID”.)
Appendix A, Switch Type and Blade ID

In Table 22 on page 104, the Brocade 300 should have 24 ports and not 16. Change the entry for
switchType 71 to the following:

53-1002931-01, published July 2013.
Chapter 2, Administering FICON Fabrics

In the section “Mode 0 (10-bit addressing)” on page 27, replace the first paragraph with the
following:
This mode is called “Disabled” in the Brocade Network Advisor. It is not supported for FICON,
but can be used for mainframe FCP channels associated with zLinux or zVM partitions. That is,
on a chassis in a FICON environment, you can utilize a logical switch or default switch only in
zero-based addressing mode (mode 1) for FICON, even if 10-bit addressing mode (mode 0) is
enabled on a different non-FICON logical switch.
Chapter 5, Maintaining and Troubleshooting FICON

In the section “Blade swapping” on page 73, add the following item to the list of restrictions:
• Faulty blades cannot be swapped.

This change applies to the Flow Monitor chapter.
In the “Overview of Flow Monitor” section, add the following bullet:
• The SCSI statistics SCSI Read/Write Frame Count and SCSI Read/Write Data are supported
only for F_Ports for any flow configuration where either srcdev or dstdev exists on the switch,
and the flow is defined using either srcdev, dstdev, ingrport or egrport (with or without bidir)
OR srcdev, dstdev, lun, ingrport or egrport.
This change applies to the Overview chapter.
In the “Flow Vision configuration setup” section, change the first paragraph to read:
To download a Flow Vision configuration to the switch, use the configDownload command.
To save the Flow Vision configuration up to the host FTP site, use the configUpload command.
The configdefault command deletes all flows and simulation ports (SIM-Ports) from the switch.

53-1002933-03, published November 2013.
Chapter 1 Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite Overview

Under "Migrating from FabricWatch to MAPS":
• Replace -enablepolicy with -policy.
• Revise the first bullet to read:
Using this process, the Fabric Watch configurations are converted to MAPS policies. Refer to
“Fabric Watch legacy policies” on page 23 for additional information. To avoid converting the
Fabric Watch configurations when you activate MAPS, do not run the mapsConfig --fwconvert
command.
Chapter 2 Enabling and Configuring MAPS

Under “MAPS configuration quick start”:
• Change step 2 to:
Migrate from Fabric Watch using the mapsConfig --fwconvert command to import the Fabric
Watch rules.
• Follow this with a new step:
Enable MAPS using the default policy by entering mapsConfig --enablemaps -policy.
• Change the example under step 6 to the following:
switch:admin> mapsconfig --fwconvert
switch:admin> mapsconfig --enablemaps -policy dflt_aggressive_policy
The WARNING text remains the same.

• CAL files
• WebTools logs folder”
With this:
“From v7.1.0, Web Tools allows you to collect the following Web Tools-related SupportSave data.
NOTE
Web Tools SupportSave collects logs for troubleshooting Web Tools. To collect switch logs, use the
SupportSave command through the FOS CLI or the Technical Support feature in Brocade Network
Advisor.
• HTML files
• CAL files
• WebTools logs folder”

53-1003064-04
Under the heading “Java Plug-in configuration”, add the following:

Launching Web Tools from a browser or Brocade Network Advisor is done using Java Web Start
technology. This requires the local system's web browser to be able to run Java web start
applications. This setting may have been turned off in the wake of recent Java zero-day
vulnerabilities.
To turn on Java content in the browser, perform the following steps:
1. Launch Java Control Panel.
2. Click the Security tab and select Enable Java content in the browser check box.
This enables the Java plug-in in the browser.
3. Click Apply.
When the Windows User Account Control (UAC) dialog box displays, allow permissions to make
the changes.
4. Click OK in the Java Plug-in confirmation window.
You can now enter the IP address of the switch and launch Web Tools from a browser.
Chapter 6, Managing Ports

Under the heading, “Configuring NPIV ports” remove the following sentence as NPIV license is not
required to enable NPIV functionality on a port.
The NPIV license must be installed on a switch before NPIV functionality can be enabled on any
port.

Under the heading “Guidelines and restrictions”, add the following bullet after the “For some
functionality and operations. . .” paragraph:
In order for the user-defined role to have access to the System Monitor which displays CPU and
Memory Usage under the Monitor tab, you must assign read/write RBAC_FabricWatch
permissions to the Chassis Access Role.
