Supported hardware and software

In those instances in which procedures or parts of procedures documented here apply to some switches but not to others, this guide identifies exactly which switches are supported and which are not.

Although many different software and hardware configurations are tested and supported by Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. for DCFM 10.4.X, documenting all possible configurations and scenarios is beyond the scope of this document.

The following firmware platforms are supported by this release of DCFM 10.4.X:

• Fabric OS 5.0 or later in a pure Fabric OS fabric

• Fabric OS 6.0 or later in a Mixed Fabric

For platform specific Fabric OS requirements, refer to the Table 1 footnotes.

Discovery of a Secure Fabric OS fabric in strict mode is not supported.

The hardware platforms in the following table are supported by this release of DCFM 10.4.X.
