For forward error correction (FEC) to be enabled for a connection, the port on the
Brocade switch and the connected adapter port must have FEC enabled. In
Figure 10-10, FEC is enabled on port FC_21-00-00-0E-1E-08-C2-00. FEC is an
optional feature that can be enabled (or disabled) on links operating at 16Gbps. Its
use is mandatory, and thus it is enabled automatically on links operating at
32Gbps.
