Feature Platform Support Labeling
This document details feature support for firmware configuration across the
S‐Series, K‐Series, and 7100‐Series hardware platforms. In some contexts there are significant
differences between hardware platforms in support for a given firmware feature, command,
parameter or option.
The specifying of hardware platform support is indicated in two ways:
- Platforms labeled parenthetically
- Platforms labeled within the paragraph content.
Throughout the document you will find four levels of platform labeling for supported firmware
components:
- Chapter – At the beginning of each chapter, a statement of platform support is
non‐parenthetically stated in the first paragraph. For example: “This chapter provides
information about configuring and monitoring a High Availability Firmware Upgrade (HAU) on S‐
and 7100‐Series devices.” This statement specifies that HAU support described in that chapter
is specific to the S‐Series and 7100‐Series platforms only.
- Heading – At the end of a heading, hardware support is parenthetically qualified. For
example (S, K‐Series) specifies that all the content under this and all lesser headings
associated with this heading are supported by the S‐ and K‐Series platforms and is not
supported on the 7100‐Series platform.
- Paragraph or Bullet – If at the end of a paragraph or bullet, hardware
support is parenthetically qualified, the specified hardware support is applied to the
contents of the paragraph or the bullet and can be generalized out to any content in the
document that is in agreement with the paragraph or bullet.
- Statements within a paragraph – If within a paragraph, the sentence is non‐parenthetically
qualified, the qualification is limited to the immediate statement in which the hardware
labeling appears.
