Supported platforms for Fibre Channel routing
Fibre Channel routing is supported on the following platforms:
•
Brocade DCX and DCX-4S (FC8-16, FC8-32, FC8-48, FC8-64, FS8-18, FX8-24, or FR4-18i
blade)
•
Brocade 5100 switch
•
Brocade 5300 switch
•
Brocade VA-40FC switch
•
Brocade 7500 Extension Switch
•
Brocade 7800 Extension Switch
•
Brocade 48000 director, using the FR4-18i blade
•
Brocade Encryption Switch
For the Brocade 48000 director, EX_Ports are supported only on the FR4-18i blade and are
not
supported on 8-Gbps port blades.
For the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S, note the following restrictions:
•
EX_Ports are supported only on the FR4-18i, FX8-24, and 8-Gbps
port
blades. Ports on the
8-Gbps
core
blade cannot be configured as EX_Ports.
•
EX_Ports on 8-Gbps port blades and EX_Ports on the FR4-18i blade cannot exist in the same
chassis; however, EX_Ports on 8-Gbps port blades and VEX_Ports
can
be online at the same
time in the same chassis.
•
The Brocade DCX and DCX-4S have a limit of 128 EX_Ports for each chassis.
Fibre Channel routing on the Brocade 5100, 5300, VA-40FC, 7800, Brocade Encryption Switch,
and on the 8-Gbps port blades of the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S require an Integrated Routing
license. See
“Integrated Routing”
on page 457 for additional information about the Integrated
Routing feature.
Supported configurations
In an edge fabric that contains a mix of administrative domain (AD)-capable switches and switches
that are not aware of AD, the FC router must be connected directly to an AD-capable switch. For
more information, see
“Use of Admin Domains with LSAN zones and FCR”
on page 477.
You can use SANtegrity to configure M-Series switches connecting to a B-Series router. For more
information, refer to
Chapter 14, “Interoperability for Merged SANs”
.
The supported configurations are:
•
FC router connected to a Brocade nonsecured edge fabric.
•
FC router connected to a Brocade secured edge fabric.
•
FC router connected to a McDATA Open Mode edge fabric.
•
FC router connected to a McDATA Fabric Mode edge fabric.
•
FC router connected to Brocade secured and nonsecured fabrics with EX_Port trunking
enabled.
•
FC router interoperating with older FC routers (XPath v7.4.x, Fabric OS v5.1 and later).
McDATA Enterprise OS switches cannot exist in the backbone fabric.
