Usage Guidelines

The effects of enabling the FICON feature in a Cisco MDS switch are as follows:

When FICON is enabled on a VSAN, it is implicitly enabled everywhere. However, when FICON is

disabled on a VSAN, it remains globally enabled. You must explicitly disable FICON to disable it

throughout the fabric.

This command is not supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 switch, the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class

BladeSystem, and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.

The following example enables FICON on the switch.

switch(config)# ficon enable

The following example disables FICON on the switch.

switch(config)# no ficon enable
