Introduction Document history... 5 Objective... 5 Brocade resources... 5 Contacting Brocade Technical Support...6 Document feedback... 6 Document history The document history indicates changes made with each revision. Document title Release Summary of changes Publication date Document number Network Advisor Features Support Matrix 12.4.3 New publication. 29 January 2016 Objective The purpose of this document is to provide a consolidated view of all the features supported on Brocade Network Advisor platforms. Use the tables to determine if a feature is supported on your product. For the supported features, the organization of the tables aligns with the feature technology groups. This document also lists the release in which each feature was introduced, with Network Advisor version 11.0.0 serving as the release baseline. Setting the baseline to version 11.0.0 means that features listed as being introduced in version 11.0.0 were actually introduced in 11.0.0 or earlier.
