Problem description:

In a large Remote Switch configuration with all ports populated, after a power outage
disrulting the ATM link the switch may occasionally not completely initialize the E-port
connecting the Remote Switch.

2. BUG FIXED IN FABRIC OS 2.4.1c

Problem description:

Fabric opmode setting to select the 256-PID format for all 24 bit PID assignments was

all other Brocade switches.

Problem resolution:

The opmode setting has been corrected, and if selected shall be compatible with all 
other Brocade switches running with the new 24 bit PID format assignment rule.

Note:

The default PID format setting should be used as this format is compatible with all
existing Brocade switches.  No configuration change is required.  This setting is not 
required at this time.
