Topic Description

IPSec for FR4-18i blade

and 400 Multi-protocol

Router

• IPSec implementation details:

• Pre-shared key

• Main m ode (IKE negotiation protocol)

• Tunnel mode in Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)

• IPSec speciﬁcstatisticsnotprovided

• No NAT or IPv6 support

• Jumbo fram es will not be supported on secure tunnels.

• Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) redirect is not supported for

IPSec-enabled tunnels.

• Only a single secure tunnel will be allowed on a port. Non-secure tunnels will

not be a llowed on the same port as secure tunnels.

• Modify operations are not allowed on secure tunnels. To change the

conﬁguration of a secure tunnel, you must ﬁrst delete the tunnel and then

recreate it with the desired options.

• Onlyasinglerouteissupportedonaninterfacewithasecuretunnel.

• An IPSec tunnel cannot be created using the same local IP address if ipperf

is active and using the same local IP address (source IP address).

• Unidirectional supported throughput is approximately 104Mbytes/sec and

bidirectional supported throughput is approximately 90Mbytes/sec.

• An IPSec tunnel takes longer to come online than a non-IPSec tunnel.

• Fabric OS 6.x does not support IPSec with VLAN tagging.

• VLAN tagging support and IPSec support are mutually exclusive on a

per-tunnel basis.

IPv6 FCIP Tunnels

• Fab

ric OS 6.x does not support compression for IPv6 FCIP Tunnels

• Fab

ric OS 6.x does not support IPSec for IPv6 tunnels.

Distance mode

Distance setting is not persistent. After a conﬁguration upload s and downloads,

distance settings will be lost, and the desired distance will be shown as 0.

Fibre Channel Routing

(FCR) switch

• If a Multi-protocol (MP) Router is present in the backbone fabric, the command

fosconfig - disable fcr maytakeupto8minutestocomplete. If

the MP Router is replaced by a FR4-18i or 400 Multi-protocol Router, the

command completes immediately.

• EX_Port trunking is not enabled by default.

• FCR switch does not support an edge fabric with one McDATA switch set to

never principal. The EX_Port connected to that edge fabric will not come up.

• FCR switch does not support edge fabrics that consist of McDATA switches

with domain ID offset. The EX_Port connected to that edge fabric may fail the

RDIprocessandnotcomeup. EX_Portscomeupdisabled(failtoinitializein

time) if attached to a Native mode switch running EOS 9.x that has non-default

DID offset conﬁgured.

Diagnostics

• All ofﬂin e diagnostics commands should be used only when the switch is

disabled.

• POST can fail if new SFPs are added during POST. SFPs should only be added

while the switch is “online” or if the switch is powered off.

• When you use the diagnostic command s systemVerification and

diagSetBurnin, the switch or blade will fault when the burn-in error log

is full. Clear the burn-in log before running systemVerification or

diagSetBurnin.

• If there are ISLs present on the switch that are not used for routing (due to them

having higher linkcosts) , disable the links before running spinfab.

High Availability (HA)

If there is an already segmented port and backbone d evices are exported to

an edge fabric, a build fabric / fabric reconﬁguration can occur after running

haFailover. Ensure that there are no segmented ports before upgrading

ﬁrmware.
