FOS v7.3 increase IPSec performance on Brocade 7840 with near line-rate throughput. FOS v7.3 implements IPSec configuration through a policy applied to a FCIP tunnel. IPSec supports both IPv4 and IPv6 and jumbo frames. Adaptive Rate Limiting (ARL) Enhancements FOS v7.3 implements two new ARL algorithms, Modified Multiplicative Decrease and Time-based Decrease, to provide additional performance tailored to network conditions.
two latency severity levels and provide intuitive reporting in MAPS dashboard under a new Fabric Performance Impact category. Monitor FCIP statistics FOS v7.3 supports new monitoring elements (RTT, Jitter) in the FCIP circuit group, adds a FCIP tunnel group to monitor tunnel state change and throughput, adds 4 FCIP tunnel QoS groups to monitor throughput and packet loss for each QoS priority.
FOS v7.3 extends the learning capability to Flow Monitor on E_Port and Ex_Port. FOS v7.3 also supports Flow Monitor for static and learning flows on XISL ports and backbone E_Port. These enhancements allow administrators to apply Flow Monitor function at all point of interests in most supported SAN topologies. Flow Mirror enhancements FOS v7.3 introduces Local Flow Mirror to mirror application flows to a mirror port on the same local switch where the flows are defined.
Read Diagnostics Parameters FOS v7.3 introduces the Read Diagnostics Parameters feature to support reporting diagnostics parameters associated with optics and media for any link between Nx_port and Fx_port from any point within a fabric. Administrators can use this ability to discover and diagnose link related errors or degrading conditions from a single point anywhere within a fabric. Link Cable Beacon (Port Peer Beacon) FOS v7.
FOS v7.3 upgrades a number of important open source software packages (openSSH, openSSL, Apache) to provide stronger security. Access Gateway Enhancements FOS v7.3 implements following Access Gateway (AG) enhancements. ClearLink Diagnostics (D_Port) Support on AG FOS v7.3 supports dynamic D_Port on connections between an AG and an HBA to allow automatically start D_Port test requested by an HBA. User Account and Password Distribution to AG FOS v7.
FOS v7.3 introduces firmware sync ability for the firmware on an active CP to be automatically synced to a standby CP after the standby CP is hot-plugged into a backbone switch chassis. Administrator can configure this ability on their chassis to enable quick operational replacement of a standby CP. Rolling Reboot Detection Enhancements FOS v7.3 enhances the rolling reboot detection feature to detect and stop a rolling reboot in disabled FOS switch state as a first attempt.
fosExec Remote Execution FOS v7.3 adds the ability to execute a FOS CLI command via fosExec CLI on a remote domain in the fabric. Administrators can enable this capability to execute CLI commands on multiple switches from a single switch in a fabric. CS_CTL QoS Enhancements FOS v7.3 enhances CS_CTL based QoS feature by reporting the CS_CTL auto mode in responses to device FLOGI, FDISC, and PLOGI requests. bottleneckMon CLI Change FOS v7.
Optionally Licensed Software Fabric OS v7.3 includes all basic switch and fabric support software, as well as optionally licensed software that is enabled via license keys. Optionally licensed features include: Brocade Ports on Demand—Allows customers to instantly scale the fabric by provisioning additional ports via license key upgrade. (Applies to select models of switches).
Adaptive Networking with QoS—Adaptive Networking provides a rich framework of capability allowing a user to ensure high priority connections obtain the bandwidth necessary for optimum performance, even in congested environments. The QoS SID/DID Prioritization and Ingress Rate Limiting features are the first components of this license option, and are fully available on all 8Gb and 16Gb platforms. Note : With FOS v7.
10GbE FCIP/10G Fibre Channel – This license enables the two 10GbE ports on the FX8-24 and/or the 10G FC capability on FC16-xx blade ports supported on DCX 8510 platforms except for the FC16-64 blade. On the Brocade 6510, Brocade 6520 this license enables 10G FC ports. This license is not applicable to Brocade 7840 or Brocade 6505.
WAN Rate Upgrade 2 License – The WAN Rate Upgrade 2 license provides unlimited WAN throughput (other than the hardware limit) on Brocade 7840. The WAN Rate Upgrade 2 licenses also enable the use of two 40GbE ports on Brocade 7840. The 40GbE ports cannot be configured without the WAN Rate Upgrade 2 license. A WAN Rate Upgrade 1 license must be installed on a Brocade 7840 before a WAN Rate Upgrade 2 license is installed.
Temporary License Support The following licenses are available in FOS v7.

FOS Migration Considerations This section contains important details to consider before migrating to or from this FOS release. FOS Upgrade and Downgrade Special Considerations DCX/DCX-4S units running any FOS v7.2.x can be non-disruptively upgraded to FOS v7.3.0a. This upgrade is non-disruptive to both FC and FCoE traffic (when using FCOE10-24 blades). Any firmware activation on Brocade 7800, or DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-8, DCX 8510-4 with FX8-24 will disrupt I/O traffic on the FCIP links.

If the remote port supports QOS and QOS is not explicitly disabled on the local or remote port, the link will come up in QOS mode. Otherwise, the link will come up in normal mode. If FOS v7.2 or later is factory installed (or net installed), Adaptive Networking features are always available. This matches the behavior of the Brocade 6520 and all products shipping with prior versions of FOS and with the Adaptive Networking license factory installed.
FOS v6.4.0x 500 ms Any version prior to FOS v6.4.0 500 ms Gen 5 platforms and blades are capable of setting an EHT value on an individual port basis. On 8G platforms EHT is set on an ASIC-wide basis, meaning all ports on a common ASIC will have the same EHT setting. Extra care should be given when configuring EHT on 8G platforms or Gen 5 platforms with 8G blades to ensure E_Ports are configured with an appropriate Hold Time setting.
does not conflict with normal tape I/O operations. The LUNs should not be configured with auto rekey option when single EE has disk and tape CTCs. Gatekeeper LUNs used by SYMAPI on the host for configuring SRDF/TF using in-band management must be added to their containers with LUN state as “cleartext”, encryption policy as “cleartext” and without “-newLUN” option. FOS7.2 and later supports KMIP key vault type for Thales e-Security Key Authority SW v4.0.0 KMIP servers.
FOS v7.3.0 does not support credit recovery on BI ports on Brocade 7840. Running offline diagnostic tests results in FCIP tunnels down. Reboot the switch after offline diagnostic tests to recover the tunnels. FCoE/DCB/CEE (FCOE10-24) When upgrading a DCX/DCX-4S with one or more FCOE10-24 blades from FOS v6.x to FOS v7.0.0 or later, the user should carefully review Chapter 5 of the FOS v7.0.0 Converged Enhanced Ethernet Administrator’s Guide.
The FCoE login group name should be unique in a fabric-wide FCoE login management configuration. If there is a login group name conflict, the merge logic would rename the login group by including the last three bytes of the switch WWN in the login group name. As long as the OUI of the switch WWNs are identical this merge logic guarantees uniqueness in any modified login group name (switches with the same OUI will have unique last 3 bytes in WWN).
Forward Error Correction (FEC) Though FEC capability is generally supported on Condor3 (16G capable FC) ports when operating at either 10G or 16G speed, it is not supported with all DWDM links. Hence FEC may need to be disabled on Condor3 ports when using DWDM links with some vendors by using portCfgFec command. Failure to disable FEC on these DWDM links may result in link failure during port bring up. Refer to the Brocade Fabric OS 7.
Platform running FOS v7.1 or later does not support EX port configuration in Interopmode 2 or Interopmode 3. Device sharing between a switch running FOS v7.1 or later and McDATA fabrics is allowed via Integrated Routing platforms using FOS v7.0.x (or earlier) firmware. Port Initialization Users may observe that a port is in “Port Throttled” state when an F_Port is being initialized.

Launch the java control panel using below command and click on Ok button \jre\bin\jcontrol Please refer to Brocade Network Advisor release notes for more details. In addition, users must check the “Enable Java content in the browser” box under the Security tab of Java Control Console to allow launching WebTools from BNA server clients. Zoning There are limitations to zoning operations that can be performed from a FOS v6.
