New OUI support on B-series platforms
The OUI value is part of a Fibre Channel WWN that uniquely identifies the manufacturer of Fibre
Channel products. The OUI values assigned to Brocade are used by Fabric OS to validate certain
fabric interoperability support, and by DCFM to provide for manageability features.
Brocade is near to exhausting the currently assigned OUI/WWN values. Therefore, they will soon
be using a new OUI value for WWN assignment. WWNs with the current OUI value are expected
to be consumed by mid-2010. Brocade factory shipments of switches after this time will have WWNs
that include the new OUI.
The new OUI value for Brocade is 00:05:33. For example, a WWN of
10:00:00:05:33:41:5c:c1 uses the new OUI.
DCFM 10.3.4 has been enhanced to recognize the new Brocade OUI value to guarantee proper
functionality.
