providing efficient use of resources by sharing common ISL and ICL connections among multiple
logical fabrics.
The Virtual Fabrics feature is part of the base Fabric OS and does not require a license. Virtual
Fabrics is fully compatible with legacy Brocade products as well as M-Series switches and directors.
FCR and FCIP enhancements
FCIP (SCSI) Read Tape Pipelining anticipates host read operations and buffers data to reduce
latency from the FCIP WAN.
LSAN Tagging provides special behavior for designated LSAN zones using either a new speed
tag or enforce tag. The enforce tag allows individual FCRs to be configured only to import devices
in specific LSAN zones, increasing scalability. The speed tag allows designated targets to remain
imported, allowing sensitive hosts to discover targets much faster. This is useful when performing
boot over LSAN operations
SoTCP Enhancements improve network congestion management in Slow Start Mode and helps
prevent host I/O timeouts.
Support for Pathinfo over MetaSAN. The Pathinfo command has been enhanced to provide
path information across routed fabrics, which is especially useful when troubleshooting connectivity
problems across routed fabrics.
FSPF cost in FCR backbone fabric uses the most efficient route to reach a destination fabric, pre-
venting the use of an FCIP link when an ISL is available.
In-band management link over FCIP connections for the HP StorageWorks 400 Multi-protocol
Router allows a management station to communicate with a remote 400 Multi-protocol Router
through the GE ports. This allows a single management station located on the WAN side of the
400 Multi-protocol Router to communicate with the management interface on the CP for management
tasks such as firmware downloads, snmp polling, snmp traps, trouble shooting, and configuration.
Enhanced Native Connectivity with McDATA products
Fabric OS 6.2 and M-EOS 9.9 now support Frame Redirection in McDATA Open Fabric Mode
(interopmode 3) fabrics. Frame Redirection zones must be created and activated from Fabric OS
platforms.
Fabric OS platforms now support EX_Port connections to McDATA Open Fabric Mode Mi10ks
using the 239 DID setting.
Security enhancements
Configurable stateless IPv6 auto-configuration support.
IPSec with IPv6 support provides greater security for management ports and configurable security
policies for IPv4/6 addresses.
A switch-wide policy requiring HBA authentication requires the FC-SP bit to be set in FLOGI. If the
bit is not set, the FLOGI is rejected and the port is disabled.
A new warning for RADIUS login allows users to configure how many days in advance they should
be notified of password expiration.
An LDAP enhancement adds the ability to provide an alternate UPN (userPrincipalName) to domain
authentication.
Contact your switch vendor regarding the use of other backup applications.
Optionally licensed software
The following are optionally licensed features in Fabric OS 6.2:
Ports on Demand allows customers to instantly scale the fabric by provisioning additional ports
via license key upgrade (applies to select models of switches).
