• FCOE10-24

• FS8-18

• FC4-48

• FC8-32E

• FC8-48E

1. The IP ports of an FX8-24 extension blade can operate with another FX8-24 or 7800. The maximum number of FX8-24 blades

supported in a chassis it four. An FX8-24 can operate with an FX8-24E; however, IPSEC and compression is only supported on

one 10G IP port on the FX8-24.

2. The 64 port card is not supported for FICON but may be in the same chassis used for FICON. It must be in a logical switch that

does not have any FICON traffic.

3. For the 48 port card in an 8-slot chassis, FICON is supported in a logical switch configured for zero-based addressing mode.

For this card in a DCX-4S backbone, FICON is supported only on a logical switch defined for port-based (mode 2) addressing.
