Under the heading of “Configuring an extended ISL” on page 451, in step 3, change the default
value of R_A_TOV from 1000 to 10000.

Under the heading of “Buffer credits for each switch model” on page 458, change the first
paragraph to the following:

Table 78 shows the total ports in a switch or blade, number of user ports in a port group, and
the unreserved buffer credits available per port group. The number in the Unreserved buffers
column is the number with QoS enabled. This number is higher if QoS is not enabled.

In Table 78, “Buffer credits” on page 458, change the name of the last column to “Unreserved
buffers (per port group) with QoS enabled”.

In Table 79, “Configurable distances for Extended Fabrics” on page 460, change the values for the
Brocade 6510, FC16-32, and FC16-48 to the following:

TABLE 79 Configurable distances for Extended Fabrics

Maximum distances (km) that can be configured assuming 2112 Byte Frame Size

Switch/blade model 1 Gbps 2 Gbps 4 Gbps 8 Gbps 10 Gbps 16 Gbps

6510 N/A 6754 3377 1688 1350 844

FC16-32 N/A 5190 2595 1297 1038 648

On page 460, change the note after Table 79 from this:

QoS requires an additional 20 buffer credits per active port so maximum supported distances
may be lower.

To this :

The distances in Table 79 assume QoS is enabled. If QoS is disabled, the maximum supported
distances are higher because QoS requires an additional 20 buffer credits per active port.

Documentation updates for Fabric OS v7.0.1 and later

The updates in this section are for the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide, publication number
53-1002446-01, published December 2011.

Chapter 23, Managing Long Distance Fabrics

In Table 80, “Configurable distances for Extended Fabrics” on page 462, change the values for the
Brocade 6505, 6510, FC8-32E, FC8-48E, FC16-32, and FC16-48 to the following:

TABLE 80 Configurable distances for Extended Fabrics

Maximum distances (km) that can be configured assuming 2112 Byte Frame Size

Switch/blade model 1 Gbps 2 Gbps 4 Gbps 8 Gbps 10 Gbps 16 Gbps

FC16-48 N/A 4486 2243 1121 897 560

On page 462, change the note at the bottom of the page from this:

QoS requires an additional 20 buffer credits per active port so maximum supported distances
may be lower.

To this :

The distances in Table 80 assume QoS is enabled. If QoS is disabled, the maximum supported
distances are higher because QoS requires an additional 20 buffer credits per active port.

Documentation Updates for Fabric OS v7.0.1

The updates in this section are for the Fabric OS Command Reference, publication number
53-1002447-01, published December 15, 2011.

The note on page xxi in the Preface includes an incorrect platform reference. The note should read:

portCfgOctetSpeedCombo - Not supported on the Brocade 6505; supported on the Brocade FC8-32E
and FC8-48E port blades only with the default combination.

portCfgDPort

portCfgShow

portStatsShow

Add the following configuration option to the portCfgDport --enable command:

portcfgdport --enable [slot/]port_list dwdm

Skips the optical loopback test when you run the D_Port diagnostics over a Dense
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) link or any third party equipment that
connects two switches.

D_Port functionality is only available on 16Gbit-capable platforms with 16Gb SFPs and 10Gb FC SFPs.

On page 688, add the following descriptions under the "Non-GbE port displays" section:

Octet Speed Combo: Displays the current octet speed combo setting. This parameter is set by the

portCfgOctetSpeed command. In unsupported platforms, this display is not

shown

D-Port over DWDM Displays ON when the D_P ort is configured over a DWDM link. This parameter is

set by portCfgDPort command and displays only if portcfgDPort is configured
with the dwdm option.

This command has been updated to include the following counters. These counters are supported only
on Condor3-based platforms and display only on these platforms

er_single_credit_loss

rtLogTrace

The statement on page 877 regarding the persistence of the rtLogTrance configuration is incorrect. It
should read: "The RTLog is enabled by default and persistent across reboots. The rtLogTrace
configuration is lost after a power cycle."
