A zone can contain all WWNs, or all D,I members, or a combination of WWN and D,I members.
Frame-based hardware enforcement is in effect if all members of a zone are identified the same
way, either using WWNs or D,I notation, but not both. If the zone includes aliases, then the aliases
must also be defined the same way as the zone.
Session-based hardware enforcement is in effect if the zone has a mix of WWN and D,I members.
If a port is in multiple zones, and is defined by WWN in one zone and by D,I in another, then
session-based hardware enforcement is in effect.
Chapter 12, Traffic Isolation Zoning
In the section “Limitations of TI zones over FC routers” on page 276, add the following bullet:
• TI over FCR is supported on an edge switch only in Brocade Native Mode (interopmode 0).
In the section “Limitations and restrictions of Traffic Isolation Zoning” on page 278, change the
fourth bullet item (which is on page 279) to the following:
• Two N_Ports that have the same shared area must be configured in the same TI zone. This
limitation does not apply to E_Ports that use the same shared area on the FC4-48 and
FC8-48 port blades.
Chapter 14, Interoperability for Merged SANs
In the section “Zoning restrictions” on page 306, add the following item:
• The maximum zone database size is 1 MB and is a combination of the active configuration
size and the defined configuration size. For example, if the active configuration size is
200 KB, then the size of the defined configuration cannot exceed 800 KB.
Chapter 16, Administering Licensing
Update the description for the” ICL 16-link License, or Inter Chassis Links” license in Table 77
“Available Brocade licenses” on page 367 with the new note:
Add the following sub-section within the “Ports on Demand” section on page 378:
License Description
ICL 16-link License, or Inter Chassis Links Provides dedicated high-bandwidth links between to Brocade
DCX chassis, without consuming valuable front-end 8 Gbps
ports. Each chassis must have the ICL license installed in order
to enable the full 16-link ICL connections (Available on the DCX
only).
NOTE: It is possible to upgrade an ICL 8-link License on a DCX to
an ICL 16-link license by just adding a new ICL 16-link
License. In that case, the ICL 8-link License will be
retained and will also be displayed when listing licenses
for the product. Even though both 8-link and 16-link
licenses are present, no more than 16 links per ICL
connector are actually enabled.
