In those instances in which procedures or parts of procedures documented here apply to some
switches but not to others, this guide identifies exactly which switches are supported and which are
not.
Although many different software and hardware configurations are tested and supported by
Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. for Fabric OS v5.3.0, documenting all possible
configurations and scenarios is beyond the scope of this document; however, this document does
specify when procedures or parts of procedures apply only to specific switches.
This document does not support all Fabric OS versions. This document is specific to Fabric OS
v5.3.0. To obtain information about an OS version other than v5.3.0, see the documentation
specific to that OS version.
What’s New in This Document
The following changes have been made since this document was last released:

Document Conventions
This section describes text formatting conventions and important notices formats.
TEXT FORMATTING
The narrative-text formatting conventions that are used in this document are as follows:
bold text Identifies command names
Identifies the names of user-manipulated GUI elements
Identifies keywords and operands
Identifies text to enter at the GUI or CLI
italic text Provides emphasis
Identifies variables
Identifies paths and Internet addresses
Identifies document titles
code text Identifies CLI output
Identifies syntax examples
For readability, command names in the narrative portions of this guide are presented in mixed
lettercase: for example, switchShow. In actual examples, command lettercase is often all
lowercase. Otherwise, this manual specifically notes those cases in which a command is case
sensitive.
