Interoperability
• SANbox – The SANbox2 switch is fully interoperable with the SANbox 1Gb switch
when running in E_Port mode. Interoperation requires firmware release version
4.01.45 or later, for the SANbox. To obtain this release, contact QLogic Technical
Support. Contact information is listed at the end of these release notes.
• MKII - The SANbox2 switch does not support the legacy T_Port mode and therefore
does not interoperate with MKII switches.
• Brocade Silkworm 2400/2800; Firmware supported: 2.4.1c
Configuring the Brocade 2400/2800 switch:
Certain configuration parameters need to be set on the Brocade switch before it will
operate with a standards compliant switch. The following parameters can be changed
with the Brocade telnet interface.
switch:admin> configure
Configure...
Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
VC Encoded Address Mode: (0..1) [0]
Switch Operating Mode (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Interoperability Mode: (0..1) [1]
Zoning Operation parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
Standard Mode: (0..1) [1]
In a mixed fabric with SANbox2, Brocade and McData switches, Domain IDs must
be in the 0x61-7f range. If a SANbox 1Gb switch is in the fabric, this is further
restricted to 0x61-6f or 70-7f. The Domain ID can be set with the Brocade telnet
interface.
