Use the follo
wing command to restore default policies for IPv4:

FICON sup
port
With release 5.2.0 and later, the Switch Connection Control high integrity
requirement for cascading FICON is available in the standard base Fabric OS.
End users can now deploy new c ascade FICON Directors without purchasing
a separate Secure Fabric OS license.
To add a new F ICON Director into existing cascaded configurations already
running Secured Fabric OS, HP recommends that users continue to deploy
Secure Fabric OS on the new FICON Director instead of migrating to FOS ACL
configuration.
NOTE:
The FC4–48 port Blade is not supported to connect to System z environments
vi a FICON channels or via FCP zLinux on System z . To attach the Director
to the System z environment, use an FC4–16 or FC4–32 Fibre Channel
port Blade.
