  Note

  VOSS is licensed on the XA1400 Series as a Fabric Connect VPN (FCVPN) application, which includes a subset of VOSS features. FCVPN transparently extends Fabric Connect services over third-party provider networks.

Note

Release 4.1 was the first VOSS release. Release numbers earlier than 4.1 are releases specific to the particular product, for example, VSP 4000 4.0.

Releases that are not part of the main VOSS release cycle begin with the product name, for example, VSP 8600 6.3.

This document identifies the release that first introduced feature support on a hardware product. Each new release includes all the features from previous releases unless specifically stated otherwise. Use this document to determine if features are supported on your product.

Note

Different models within a product family can be introduced in different software releases. The tables in this document include the earliest release number. To understand which release is the minimum software release for each model, see the Network Operating System (NOS) Release Notes.

This document arranges the features alphabetically, based on how those features are included in the NOS User Guide. The tables in this document also appear in the conceptual feature content of the NOS User Guide

This document distinguishes between hardware that is not capable of supporting a feature (Not Applicable) and hardware that is capable of supporting a feature but does not (Not Supported).
