Configuring FICON

Fibre Connection (FICON) interface capabilities enhance the Cisco MDS 9000 Family by supporting 
both open systems and mainframe storage network environments. The control unit port (CUP) also is 
supported, which allows in-band management of the switch from FICON processors.

</p>
<a name="wp1153313"> </a><p class="pBodyAutonumNoRule">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> Cisco Fabric Manager release 3.x does not support FICON management of Cisco MDS 9000 Family 
switches running SAN-OS release 2.(x).
