Known Issues with Brocade/SANbox2 operation:
 The SANbox2 switch supports 2 modes of treating devices when there is no
active zoneset, either visible to each other or visible to none. When operating with
a Brocade switch, the SANbox2 switch should be set to no orphan visibility. Do
this by using the CLIsh command “set config zoning” to set “Default” to “None”.
 When zoning, the SANbox2 allows you to specify zone members as WWNs,
domain/portNos, or by Fibre Channel address. Brocade switches accept only the
WWN specification.
 Do not enable Brocade's Platform Management Server. It should be disabled by
default. If it is enabled, the Brocade switch will keep sending non-GS-3
management server messages to E_port every 4 seconds and the Brocade switch
will eventually isolate with the message “WARNING MS-PLDBSEG…MS
Platform Segmented”. To disable this feature, follow these steps:
switch:admin>msPlMgmtDeactivate
switch:admin> msplatshow
Platform Management is NOT enabled.
• Brocade Silkworm 3800; Firmware supported: 3.0.2a
Configuring the Brocade 3800 switch:
Certain configuration parameters need to be set on the Brocade switch before it will
operate with a standards compliant switch. The following commands must be entered
from the Brocade telnet interface.
switch:admin> switchdisable
switch:admin> interopmode 1
switch:admin> fastboot
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.
