Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Overview
Brocade, a Broadcom company, and its OEM and developer partners have tested a wide variety of devices for compatibility with the Brocade FOS 8.x product family. You can find a current list of Brocade products and data sheets at the following location: https://www.broadcom.com/products/fibre-channel-networking These support and compatibility guidelines were generated for your reference based on product testing and operation of products in customer installations. The devices listed are deemed compatible with Brocade products in a Brocade infrastructure. Broadcom cannot provide direct support for the end nodes or applications listed in this document, but Broadcom is committed to ensuring that the Brocade infrastructure is operating correctly while interoperating with these components. The components listed in this document are not guaranteed to work in all configurations, but Broadcom is committed to helping customers with a valid support contract to resolve any compatibility issues.
NOTE If an item is not listed, it does not mean that it is incompatible. It may simply mean that it has not been tested. In this document, the term “compatibility” means having the ability to connect to the Brocade product, to register with the name server (if appropriate), and to support a moderate level of I/O. Users of this list should plan on validating their specific configuration with a level of testing appropriate to their application. Broadcom expects suppliers of complete solutions (OEM or integration partners) to provide details on configurations that they have certified. This document provides the basis for integrators to assemble working systems that they can support and certify. However, Broadcom cannot certify that any components on this list, when attached to any other component via our switching products, will operate with no issues. Broadcom is committed to actively testing and correcting any issues with its product and to work with partners to help resolve compatibility issues as they are reported. This document provides an overview of supported devices within a Brocade data center infrastructure. Guidance is provided on products that are known to integrate with a Brocade infrastructure. To ensure proper integration, users should refer questions on configuration details to their OEM or integrator that supports these devices. Broadcom expects that the solution provider will supply detailed guidelines on the correct firmware, driver, and configuration settings required to ensure that specific needs are met. By the date of publication of this document, vendors may offer more recent software support for their products. Users of this document should refer questions on end-to-end interoperability to their OEM or integration partner. Your support provider can assist with the proper configuration and tuning of your end-to-end solution. The products listed in this document are considered compatible in a Brocade infrastructure. In addition to the product testing performed by Broadcom, OEM and development partners also have extensive testing programs. Each of these partners might maintain their own compatibility, interoperability, or support guidelines and can provide detailed information on the configurations that they support. Products and product variants not specifically listed in this document might be compatible and supported in a production storage area network (SAN) infrastructure. Your OEM or integration partner is the first line for questions on supported devices, fabric configuration, firmware or Fabric OS selection, and settings for end-to-end solution deployment.

Chapter 4: SAN Switches by Vendor
NOTE This document lists compatibility with Brocade switches that are running FOS 8.x. As the undisputed leader of data center SAN networks, Broadcom provides interoperability of Brocade Fibre Channel switches using open industry standards. Broadcom supports Brocade switches connected to third- party switches utilizing N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) technology.
NOTE Cisco switches must be configured to Cisco N-Port Virtualizer (NPV) mode to connect to Brocade switches. Cisco NP ports connect to Brocade F_Ports. E_Port connectivity is not supported.
NOTE HPE Virtual Connect modules connect their N_Port uplinks via NPIV to Brocade F_Ports.
NOTE Marvell/QLogic switches must be configured to Transparent Router mode to connect to Brocade switches. QLogic N_Ports connect to Brocade F_Ports.
NOTE Support for 4Gb/s speed on Gen 6 Fibre Channel platforms requires 16Gb/s optics when 4Gb/s connectivity is supported by the platform.
NOTE Support for 2Gb/s speed is supported only on Gen 5 and 8Gb/s Fibre Channel platforms using 8Gb/s optics when 2Gb/s connectivity is supported by the platform.

Chapter 7: WDM Network Solutions
7.1 Brocade General Compatibility with WDM Solutions
Broadcom supports all WDM networking solutions that are compliant with Fibre Channel standards for ISL extensions when configured in R_RDY mode. Note the following limitations with WDM support: . FEC should be turned off for 10G and 16G links. . Lossless capability cannot be guaranteed over a DWDM network. . FOS 8.2.1 adds ISL R_RDY mode to the base switch when configured to run Virtual Fabrics. This requires that both sides of the ISL link be Gen 5 or Gen 6 and running FOS 8.2.1 or later. Manual configuration of R_RDY mode on both sides is required. . In general, Broadcom does not recommend the use of ISL Trunking over WDM links. Refer to your preferred vendor’s configuration and support documentation for guidance on the use of ISL Trunking with their WDM equipment. Check with your WDM networking vendor for qualification test details and supported product functionality and configurations with Brocade switches.
