Brocade Fabric OS Documentation Addendum - Supporting Fabric OS v5.2.x (53-1000429-01-HP)

vi Fabric OS v5.2.X Documentation Addendum

Publication Number: 53-1000429-01-HP

When procedures or parts of procedures documented here apply to some switches but not to others, this

guide identifies which switches are supported and which are not.

This document sometimes mentions other Fabric OS releases to highlight the changes in the latest

release or to point out interoperability issues with other SilkWorm models. It also specifies when

procedures or steps of procedures apply only to specific SilkWorm models.

Although many different software and hardware configurations are tested and supported by Brocade

Communications Systems, Inc. for this Brocade Fabric OS release, documenting all possible

configurations and scenarios is beyond the scope of this document.

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. The

ficonCupSet and ficonCupShow commands are an exception to this convention.
