SilkWorm® Switch Compatibility Statement
This document summarizes equipment that is known to be compatible with the Brocade SilkWorm Family of switches, directors, and routers. Products named in this document’s compatibility lists reflect equipment tested at Brocade, and equipment tested by Brocade OEM and developer partners. Brocade and its OEM and development partners have tested a wide variety of devices for compatibility with the Brocade SilkWorm family of switches, directors, and routers. The current list of Brocade products may be found at http://www.brocade.com/products/index.jsp. Based on product testing and operation of products in customer installations, the following Support and Compatibility guidelines have been generated for reference. The devices listed in this matrix are deemed compatible with Brocade products in a Brocade infrastructure. Brocade cannot provide direct support for the end nodes or applications listed in this document, but is committed to ensuring the Brocade infrastructure is operating correctly while integrating with these components. The components listed in this document are not guaranteed to work in all configurations, but Brocade is committed to help customers with a valid Brocade Support Contract to resolve any compatibility issues. For purposes of this document, “compatibility” is defined as having the ability to connect to the SilkWorm 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. Sections titled “Brocade Compatibility Matrix Quick Reference” and “Brocade Compatibility Matrix by Vendor” provide an overview of devices that are compatible within a Brocade infrastructure. Guidance is provided on products that are known to be able to integrate with a Brocade infrastructure. To ensure proper integration, users should refer configuration details to their OEM or integrator supporting these devices. Brocade expects that the solution provider will supply detailed guidelines on the correct firmware, driver, and configuration settings required to ensure any specific needs are met. By the date of publication of this document many 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 to meet any specific business needs. The products listed in this section are considered compatible in a Brocade infrastructure. The column titled “Fabric Aware” in the section “Brocade Compatible Matrix Quick Reference“ indicates products that have been tested within the guidelines of the Brocade Fabric Aware Partner program. This program provides a key set of guidelines to ensure that partners’ products meet the minimum requirements for compatibility in a Brocade networked storage environment. “Fabric Aware” is intended to provide additional assurance that standard off-the-shelf components can integrate seamlessly within an existing Brocade infrastructure. More information on the Fabric Aware program can be found at http://www.brocade.com/partners/fabric_aware_program.jsp. In addition to the product testing performed by Brocade, Brocade OEM and Development Partners also have extensive testing programs. Each of these partners may maintain their own compatibility, interoperability or support guidelines, and can provide detailed information on the configurations they support. Products and product variants not specifically listed in this document can and may be compatible and supported in a production SAN infrastructure. Your OEM or integration partner is the first reference for questions on supported devices, fabric configuration, firmware or Fabric OS selection, and any settings for end-to-end solution deployment.

Many Brocade partners provide detailed support information online. Examples include but are not limited to): EMC : http://www.emc.com/interoperability/index.jsp HP : http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html IBM : http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/san/index.html Network Appliance : http://netapp.com/products/fcsan.html Brocade avoids the use of the term “certification” when it comes to compatibility and interoperability testing. Brocade expects suppliers of complete solutions (OEM or integration partner) to provide details on configurations they have certified. This document provides the basis for integrators to assemble working systems that they can support and certify. However, Brocade cannot certify that any components on this list, when attached to any other component via our switching products, will operate with no issues. Brocade is committed to actively testing and correcting any issues with its products, and to work with partners to help resolve compatibility issues as they are reported. You can send your questions, corrections or suggestion in improving this document to [email protected]. THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWING MATRIX IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS AND IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION DOES NOT MODIFY ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR OBLIGATIONS IN ANY WRITTEN AGREEMENT WITH BROCADE. ACCORDINGLY, PROVISION BY BROCADE OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT SHALL CREATE NO ADDITIONAL WARRANTIES, LIABILITIES, OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY KIND AND BROCADE ASSUMES NO LIABILITY RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION.

Scalability Support Matrix This section details several key support considerations for SilkWorm SANs. Brocade will support all of our partners on any fabric configuration and connected SAN devices, as detailed in Table 1 and that does not exceed the defined maximums, and satisfy the minimum Fabric OS & Fabric Manager requirements. “Secure Fabric OS Disabled” is any SilkWorm with Fabric OS or with the Secure Fabric OS license installed but not activated. Secure Fabric OS is only supported in configurations where designated (i.e. “Secure Fabric OS Enabled”). The support designator indicates either current or legacy. The “Legacy” support designator is provided to enable those customers who deploy with a specific version of Fabric OS to continue to expand to support limits without having to upgrade Fabric OS. The “Current” support indicator reflects the most recent support levels. Table 1 : Current SilkWorm Scalability Support Matrix

Notes: The Maximum Zone Database cannot exceed the lowest maximum value in the fabric (use the command cfgsize to determine the zoning database size). The support limits apply to a single fabric and connected devices. The implementation of zoning is recommended for any SAN and especially critical for any large fabric, since zoning is fundamental to the functioning of multi-hundred port fabrics.

Appendix A: Glossary Latest glossary can be found at http://www.brocade.com/san/glossary.jsp. A ABTS Abort Basic Link Service. ACC Accept link service reply; the normal reply to an Extended Link Service request
(such as FLOGI), indicating that the request has been completed. Access fairness A process by which contending nodes are guaranteed access to an Arbitrated Loop.Access method The method used to access a physical medium in order to transmit data ACK Acknowledgement frame; used for end-to-end flow control; verifies receipt of one or
more frames from Class 1,2 or F services. Active copper A Fibre Channel connection that allows copper cabling up to 33 meters (36 yards) in
length between devices. Address identifier A 24-bit number used to indicate the link-level address of communicating devices.
In a frame header, the address identifier indicates the source ID (S_ID) and the destination ID (D_ID) of the frame respectively.
Alias server A proposed standard as part of FC-GS-3; it will use the well-known address FFFFF8 and will maintain identifier mappings to support multicast group management
AL_PA Arbitrated Loop Physical Address; an 8-bit value used to identify a device participating in an Arbitrated Loop.
AL_TIME Arbitrated Loop Timeout value; twice the amount of time it would take for a transmission word to propagate around a worst-case loop. The default value is 15 milliseconds (ms).
ANSI American National Standards Institute; governing body for standards in the U.S. ARB Arbitrative Primitive Signal; this applies only to an Arbitrated Loop topology, and is
transmitted as the fill word by an L_Port to indicate the port is arbitrating access to the loop.
Arbitrated Loop A shared 100/200-megabytes-per-second Fibre Channel transport supporting up to a maximum of 126 devices and 1 attachment to a Fabric. Ports with lower AL_PAs have higher priorities.
Arbitration A method of gaining orderly access to a shared-loop topology. ARP Address Resolution Protocol; a TCP/IP function for associating an IP address with a
link-level address. ASIC Application-Specific Integrated Circuit. ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode; a high-speed packet-switching transport used for
transmitting data over LANs or WANs that transmits fixed-length units of data. It provides any-to-any connectivity and nodes can transmit simultaneously.
B Bandwidth The transmission capacity of the cable, link, or system. BB_Credit Buffer-to-buffer credit; used to determine how many frames can be sent to the
recipient. Bloom The code name given to the third-generation Brocade Fabric ASIC. This ASIC is
used in SilkWorm switches 3000 series and beyond.
Glossary
Brocade Compatibility Matrix July 12, 2006 Page 207
Broadcast Sending a transmission to all Nx_Ports on a Fabric. Boot code Software that initialized the system environment during the early phase of the boot
up process. For example, boot code may determine the amount of available memory and how to access it.
Boot flash Flash (temporary) memory that stores the boot code and boot parameters. Bypass circuitry Circuits that automatically remove a device from the data path when valid signals
are dropped. C CAM Content addressable memory Cascade Connecting two or more Fibre Channel hubs or switches to increase port capacity or
distance. Seven levels of cascading is the limit for Brocade switches. SilkWorm 1000 switches can have up to 32 in a SAN; SilkWorm 2000 switches and above can have up to 239.
CDR Clock and data recovery circuitry. CE Conformité Européenne. Channel A point-to-point link whose task is to transport data from one point to another. CIM Common Information Model; a management structure enabling disparate resources
to be managed by a common application. Class 1 A connection-oriented class of service that requires acknowledgment of frame
delivery. Class 2 A connectionless class of service that requires acknowledgment of frame delivery. Class 3 A connectionless class of service that requires no acknowledgment of frame delivery
between N_Ports. Class 4 A connection-oriented service that allows fractional parts of the bandwidth to be
used in a virtual circuit. Class 6 A connection-oriented multicast service geared toward video broadcasts between a
central server and clients. Class F A connectionless class of service that gives notification of delivery or non-delivery
