: Toleration support only.

Warning:

Due to weaknesses in the Brocade REST API, some information might be missing in BVQ in FOS versions < 8.2.3b. E.g. trunk information is not available in FOS 8.2.1.x.

We have also seen performance issues (i.e. switches responding very slowly to API calls) in FOS <9.x.
