When you attempt to apply these commands in the ASCII configuration, the following commands fail:
> no destination-profile testProfile transport-method email

To work around this issue, issue these commands after the commit command.
Availability of F Port Trunking and F Port Channels
Trunking F ports and trunking F port channels are not supported on the following MDS 9000
components:
• DS-C9134-K9, Cisco MDS 9134 Multilayer Fabric Switch, if NPIV is enabled and the switch is
used as the NPV core switch
• DS-C9124-K9, Cisco MDS 9124 Multilayer Fabric Switch, if NPIV is enabled and the switch is
used as the NPV core switch
Trunking F ports, trunking F port channels and regular F port channels are not supported on the following
MDS 9000 components:
• DS-X9016, Cisco MDS 9000 2-Gbps16-Port Fibre Channel Switching Module
• DS-X9032, Cisco MDS 9000 2-Gbps 32-Port Fibre Channel Switching Module
• DS-X9032-14K9, Cisco MDS 9000 14/2-Port Multiprotocol Services Module (MPS-14/2)
For configuration information, refer to the “Configuring Trunking” section in the Cisco MDS 9000
NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide.
Reserved VSAN Range and Isolated VSAN Range Guidelines
On an NPV switch with a trunking configuration on any interface, or on a regular switch where the
feature fport_channel_trunk command has been issued to enable the Trunking F port channels feature,
follow these configuration guidelines for reserved VSANs and the isolated VSAN:
• If trunk mode is on for any of the interfaces or NP port channel is up, the reserved VSANs are 3040
to 4078, and they are not available for user configuration.
• The Exchange Virtual Fabric Protocol (EVFP) isolated VSAN is 4079, and it is not available for user
configuration.
The following VSAN IDs are assigned in the Fibre Channel Framing and Signaling (FC-FS) interface
standard:
VF_ID Value Value Description
00h Do not use as a Virtual Fabric Identifier.
001h ... EFFh Available as a Virtual Fabric Identifier.
F00h ... FEEh Reserved.
FEFh Control VF-ID (see Fibre Channel Link Services
(FC-LS) and Fibre Channel Switch Fabric
Generation 4 (FC-SW-4) standards).
