Fabric OS 7.4.1a Release Notes v3.0 Page 8 of 142
Overview
FOS v7.4.1a is a patch release based on FOS v7.4.1. All hardware platforms and features supported in FOS
v7.4.1 are also supported in FOS v7.4.1a. This release contains fixes for defects.
Enhancements and Resolution o Important De ects

FOS7.4.1
In addition to defect fixes listed at the end of this document, FOS v7.4.1a also includes the following
enhancements:
•Support certificate signing request (CSR) generated with SHA-256 signature through secCertUtil CLI
command with “-hash sha256” option.
•Support QSFP Part Number: 57-1000294-02 to be used on rocade FC16-64 port blade and on rocade
DCX8510 core blades for Inter Chassis Link (ICL).
•Support following new optics part numbers:

oFinisar 8G DWDM 40km SFP+ (FTLX3670SCC** 08)
oFinisar 8G CWDM 70km SFP+ (FTLX2870SCC** 08)
oFinisar 8G CWDM 40km SFP+ (FTLX2670SCC** 08)
oFinisar 4G DWDM 80km SFP+ (FWLF1634RL** 04)
oFinisar 4G CWDM 80km SFP (FWLF1625P2L** 04)
oFinisar 4G ELWL 50km SFP (FWLF1524P2L55 03)
oFinisar 4G ELWL 100km SFP (FWLF1625P2L55 03)
•Support Low QoS zone configuration to co-exist with vTap on fabric switches monitored by the rocade
Analytics Monitoring Platform.
FOS v7.4.1 Additional Hardware Plat orm Support
FOS v7.4.1 merges in the support for the following embedded platforms, in addition to all hardware platforms
supported in FOS v7.4.0b.
•rocade 6543 (embedded switch)
FOS v7.4.1 New Features & Support
In addition to fixes for defects, FOS v7.4.1 includes following enhancements:
• Support POSIX style regular expression for <alias_pattern> parameter in the zoneShow --alias
<alias_pattern> CLI.
• SNMP enhancement to MI object ifOperStatus to report port online/offline state independently from the
value of ifAdminStatus.
• Support SCP/SFTP protocol for SNMP MI objects hwinfospsaveSet and hwUpdateFile for initiating
firmwareDownload and supportSave through SNMP.
FOS v7.4.1 also includes the following features introduced in FOS v7.4.0b that enable rocade Gen 5 fabric
switches as source switches to be monitored by the rocade Analytics Monitoring Platform:
•Support for virtual tap (vTap)
ovTap is a rocade Gen 5 Flow Vision capability enabled on a fabric switch to mirror selected
frames to Analytics Monitoring Platform for analysis. A new pre-defined flow named
“sys_analytics_vtap” supports vTap.

Fabric OS 7.4.1a Release Notes v3.0 Page 9 of 142
ovTap supports automatic discovery of Analytic F_Port (AF_Port) when a rocade Analytics
Monitoring Platform is attached to the fabric. An AF_Port is a mirror port on the Analytics
Monitoring Platform designated as the destination of information sent from vTap-enabled ports on
a fabric switch.
•Support for Analytics E_Port (AE_Port) connectivity between fabric switches and the rocade Analytics
Monitoring Platform through Analytics Switch Link (ASL)
oASLs are Gen 5 Fibre Channel links dedicated for carrying information from vTap-enabled ports on
fabric switches to rocade Analytics Monitoring Platform.
oASLs do not carry normal data traffic unless they are the only paths from hosts to targets.
•Enhancement to MAPS for monitoring AE_Port and vTap
oAdd Fabric Performance Impact (FPI) monitoring for latency and congestion monitoring on AE_Port
oAdd FPI monitoring for back-end ports with active vTap on a fabric switch
oAdd Switch Resource monitoring for vTap traffic IOPS with active vTap on a fabric switch
FOS v7.4 Obsoleted FOS Features
The following features supported in FOS v7.3 and earlier releases are obsolete beginning with FOS v7.4:
•Fabric Watch
•Advanced Performance Monitoring (APM)
Users running Fabric Watch for switch monitoring in FOS v7.3 are advised to convert to MAPS monitoring
before upgrading to FOS v7.4. Converting Fabric Watch to MAPS before upgrading to FOS v7.4 can preserve
Fabric Watch threshold configurations. If users choose to upgrade to FOS v7.4 without converting to MAPS,
Fabric Watch will stop functioning after the firmware upgrade and the Fabric Watch thresholds cannot be
automatically migrated for use by MAPS. Please refer to the Fabric OS MAPS Administrator’s Guide for step-by-
step migration instructions.
Users running APM in FOS v7.3 are required to remove all monitors before upgrading to FOS v7.4 by using the
following commands:
1. Enter perfdeleemonitor to remove all End-to-end monitors.
2. Enter perfcfgsave to save this change.
3. Enter fmmonitor --delmonitor to remove all filter monitors.
4. Enter fmmonitor --delete frametype to remove the specified user-defined frametype.
5. Enter perfttmon --delete to remove all switch level Top Talker monitors.
6. Enter perfttmon --delete fabricmode to remove fabric mode Top Talker monitors.
After upgrading to FOS v7.4, the APM monitors will stop functioning. Users can use the Flow Vision features as
part of Fabric Vision for performance monitoring. Please refer to the Fabric OS Flow Vision Administrator’s
Guide for detailed instructions on removing APM monitors and Flow Vision feature configurations.
rocade Fabric Vision licenses are required for MAPS and Flow Vision. The combination of rocade Fabric
Watch license and rocade APM license enables the MAPS and Flow Vision features. For switches with only
Fabric Watch licenses or only APM licenses, users can acquire and install the missing license to acquire MAPS
and Flow Vision features.

FOS v7.4 New Feature Descriptions
New Hardware Support
FOS v7.4 adds support for the following new hardware:
•rocade-branded 4G external US flash drive
IP Extension eatures or Brocade 7840
FOS v7.4 introduces IP Extension support for the rocade 7840. Users can use this capability to extend IP
storage for replication and disaster recovery in much the same way as Fibre Channel storage while taking
advantage of the compression, encryption, QoS, and trunking features available in the rocade 7840.
A rocade 7840 running FOS v7.4 can support both FCIP Extension and IP Extension at the same time. IP
Extension includes the following:
•Support for system configuration for IP Extension
•Support for GbE port configuration for IP Extension
•Tunnel configuration for IP Extension
•Adaptive Rate Limiting
•TCP/IP Features
•Traffic Control List
Support System Con iguration or IP Extension
FOS v7.4 supports users configuring rocade 7840 for both FCIP Extension and IP Extension (hybrid mode). y
default, rocade 7840 supports FCIP Extension only. Changing a rocade 7840 between FCIP-only and hybrid
mode requires a switch reboot.
Support GE Port Con iguration or IP Extension
FOS v7.4 supports users configuring the front end 1/10 GbE ports as LAN ports on a rocade 7840 for hybrid
mode. These ports are used to connect to IP storage devices on the LAN side. FOS v7.4 supports static Link
Aggregation Group (LAG) configuration so that multiple LAN ports can be assigned to the same LAG group.
Tunnel con iguration or IP Extension
FOS v7.4 supports user configuration of IP tunnels on a rocade 7840 in the same way as FC tunnels are
configured. IP tunnels and FC tunnels are all represented under virtual E-port (VE). Each VE is configured as a
FC-only tunnel or as both FC and IP tunnels. Trunking, QoS, and compression are supported on IP tunnels as
they are for FC tunnels.
Adaptive Rate Limiting (ARL)
FOS v7.4 supports all ARL features available on the FCIP Extension for IP Extension. The static distribution of
unused bandwidth is hierarchical.
TCP/IP Features
FOS v7.4 supports the following TCP/IP features for IP Extension.
•LAN side jumbo frames
•IPv4 and IPv6 for LAN side
•Maximum 512 TCP connections per Data Processor (DP)
•Maximum 512 TCP open requests per second per DP
•Maximum 64 UDP flows per DP
•DSCP/VLAN L2CoS marking
•Segment Preservation
•Each LAN TCP window will be 64K by default. If TCP window scaling is requested, the maximum advertised
window is 256K. The maximum window per connection is 2M irrespective of the advertised window.
