1. Max # Hops: The maximum number of ISLs (Inter−Switch Links) a frame needs to traverse between any input port of the fabric to any output port, assuming all ISLs are active (no ISL
or switch fault condition is present). This is the maximum number of hops in a fabric. For additional information regarding how to count the number of hops in a fabric, refer to the
EMC Networked Storage Topology Guide.
2. Switch Management Application Revision: Switch Management versions are backward compatible. You may manage any lower−level switch with a higher level Management
Application Revision.
3. Switch Management Application Revision: The use of mixed code revisions in the same fabric should be limited to code upgrade processes only. You must always use the
management code rev. associated with the highest level of switch code.
4. Max # of Domains per Fabric: The maximum number of switches a Fibre Channel fabric may contain under the current topology limitations.
5. This switch module is supported in both legacy switch module position (bay 3 or 4) of all IBM BladeCenter chassis' and when installed in the IBM Multi−switch Interconnect Module for
IBM BladeCenter (39Y9314), in bays 8 and 10 in the IBM BladeCenter H chassis.
6. HP Part number AE373A is 12 port upgrade license for Brocade 4/12 SAN Switch.
7. This switch is offered by Dell as the Brocade VL2 LC.
8. Dell offers the following versions of the DS−220B−FF−D switch: DS−210B−DE and DS−210B−DEU. Please reference the Dell website for further information.
9. the configuration is customer instalable
