Firmware Summary
Management-Related Differences
Table B-3 summarizes management-related differences between the
E/OSc 8.0, E/OSn 6.0, and E/OSi 4.6 firmware versions.
Reroute delay behavior With reroute delay enabled, the
destination route point is cleared
and a delay equal to the error
detect time-out value (ED_TOV)
is applied before a new route is
programmed. During the delay,
Class 3 frames are dropped.
With reroute delay enabled, the
Intrepid 10000 Director first
pauses incoming port traffic and
applies a delay to allow frames
internal to the director to be
transmitted. This delay during
route reprogramming prevents
frames being sent out of order.
Reroute delay not supported.
Switch internal link
services (SW_ILS)
during fabric build
SW_ILS sequences transmitted
on up to eight interswitch links
(ISLs) per neighbor switch.
SW_ILS sequences transmitted
only on the primary ISL to a
neighbor switch. However, if the
domain identifier assigned (DIA)
link service is enabled, the
Intrepid 10000 Director floods all
ISLs. This reduces Class F traffic
in a large fabric.
SW_ILS sequences not
supported.
