The configuration limitations are as follows:

■

The following Brocade software implementations may not be supported in QLogic fabrics.

Existing Brocade switches retain all features that are available with Brocade switches 
once the IBM eServer BladeCenter Fibre Channel Switch Module is integrated into 
a heterogeneous fabric. Brocade features do not generate interswitch traffic. As such, 
they can be included in multi-vendor fabrics, but function on Brocade switches only.

When merging Brocade and QLogic fabrics, a maximum of 31 switches can be configured.

The following QLogic switches have been tested in the QLogic environment and comply with the 
FC-SW-2 standard. QLogic switches have tested interoperable with the following switches from 
Brocade that comply with the FC-SW-2 standard.

ATTENTION!! When updating Brocade firmware, the switch may default to a proprietary 

operating mode. Therefore, after a firmware update, verify that the switch is still 
set to Interoperability mode
