Release Notes

Fabric OS v7.0.1 Release Notes v1.0 Page 17 of 67
Zoning Compatibility Note:
Users are recommended to upgrade to the following versions of firmware when interoperating with a switch
running FOS v7.0 or later in the same layer 2 fabric to overcome some of the zoning operations restrictions
that otherwise exist:
Main code level
Patch code levels with full zoning
compatibility
FOS v6.2
FOS v6.2.2d or later
FOS v6.3
FOS v6.3.2a or later
FOS v6.4
FOS v6.4.1 or later
If there are switches running FOS versions lower than the above listed patch levels in the same fabric as a
switch with FOS v7.0 or later, then cfgsave and cfgenable operations initiated from these switches will fail if
the zoning database is greater than 128KB. In such scenarios zoning operations such as cfgsave/cfgenable
can still be performed successfully if initiated from a switch running FOS v7.0 or later.
