SNMP requests can be received in either 3.0 or 3.1 of the Fibre Alliance (FA) MIB, and
the switch responds in the same version. The switch can also be configured to use a
specific version for traps generated by the switch.
Zoning limitations
With firmware 06.00.00 and later, you have the ability to configure large zone sets,
including up to 1024 zones and 1024 end ports in a single zone set. Table 3 shows
the supported limits for the edge switches and directors.

Using the same firm w ar e
All directors and edge switches in the same fabric should have the same firmwar e level
installed—whether 1 Gbps or 2 G bps capable, this firmware operates correctly.
The recently released Edge Switch 2/1 2 had an interim firmware specificfortheEdge
Switch 2/12, 05.05.00-12. This firmwarecannotbeusedforanyotheredgeswitch
or director. This interim version is compatible with the M-Series firmware 05. 02. 00-13
used for th
erestoftheM-Seriesfabricproducts.Thefirmware 07.01.02-4 is a common
firmware for all the M -Series fabric products, including the Edge Switch 2/12.
Firmware 06.02.00-22 provides support for second-generation Edge Switch 2/12 and
Edge Switch 2/24 switches. This is the minimum M-Series firm ware supported on the
second-generation Edge Switch 2/12 and Edge Switch 2/24.
