MDS 9000 Core with Brocade and McData Edge Topology (Interop Mode 1)
This chapter describes how to set up a basic core-edge topology with an MDS 9000 switch configured for interop mode 1 at the core, and two Brocade switches and one McData switch at the edge. All devices are connected to the edge switches. However, all traffic must flow through the core switch to reach its destination.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Specifications, page 4-1

• Expected Topology Behavior, page 4-2

• Configuration, page 4-4

• Verification, page 4-7

• Zoning, page 4-25

SpecificationsThe following switches and code levels were used for this example configuration:

• MDS 9513 running NX-OS Release 5.2(1)

• Brocade 4900 Version 6.4.1a

• Brocade 5100 Version 6.3.2a

• McData 4500 version 09.09.09 2

The example configuration uses MDS 9509 switches in the core, and Brocade 5100, Brocade 4900, and McData 4500 switches on the edge.

Figure 4-1 shows the topology used for this example configuration.

Chapter 4 MDS 9000 Core with Brocade and McData Edge Topology (Interop Mode 1) Expected Topology Behavior

ZoningAll zone members will be pWWNs in the core-edge topology because the Brocade domain/port nomenclature is not a valid form (per the FC standard), and the McData switch only supports zone members based upon pWWNs. When a zone set (or configuration, in Brocade terminology) activation is made at the core, the zone set activation reaches all switches at the same time because all the switches are one hop away (except for the other core switch, which is two hops away).

The edge switches provide all of the zone security, because the MDS 9000 switch does not check the source or destination of the frame when traversing E ports. Brocade switches only check the zoning information on the egress port of the fabric.

Note After two active zone sets successfully merge, always copy the active zone set to the full zone set database prior to modifying it on the MDS 9000 switch.

FSPFAll links within the topology appear with the link cost of 250, except for the two paths leading to the Brocade 5100. These paths are running at 2 Gbps and appear with a cost of 500.

The Brocade switches load balance their routes using source and destination; the ingress edge switch uses the same core switch for all traffic that has the same source and destination pair. If the Brocade switch could load balance using source/destination/ox-id, then it could choose either of the two core switches for the route through the fabric. The two-level core does not allow the MDS 9000 switch, which can load balance using source/destination/ox-id, to load balance across multiple edge switches.

Trunking and PortChannelsThe lack of MDS 9000 switch-to-MDS 9000-switch connections prohibits the topology from containing TE ports or PortChannels. While in interop mode, the Brocade switches do not support trunked ports of any type. Only standard E ports are used for the ISLs.

Domain IDsThe domain IDs are limited to the 97 to 127 range due to a restriction imposed by McData's inability to handle IDs outside of that range. While Brocade switches and MDS 9000 switches can handle domain IDs outside of this range, their implementation of interoperability mode includes this limitation.

Domain ID modifications can be handled in two ways, disruptively or nondisruptively:

• Disruptive—This event impacts the entire switch. When changing domain IDs, Brocade and McData both require the entire switch to be taken offline and/or rebooted.

• Nondisruptive—This event is limited to the VSAN where the event is taking place. Only the MDS 9000 switch can perform this action, as the domain manager process for this VSAN is restarted and not the entire switch. This requires any device logged into the VSAN to log into the fabric again to obtain a new FC ID.

Chapter 4 MDS 9000 Core with Brocade and McData Edge Topology (Interop Mode 1) Configuration

ConfigurationThis section describes the configuration process and includes the following topics:

• Configuring the McData 4500 Switch, page 4-4

• Configuring the MDS 9000 Switch and the Brocade Switches, page 4-7

Configuring the McData 4500 SwitchIn this example, the McData 4500 switch is configured for interop mode using Telnet and the CLI. The switch is placed in an offline state, the default zone is set to deny, the domain ID is set, and timers are altered to match the fabric.

To configure the McData 4500 switch, follow these steps:

Step 1 Display current switch information.

Root> show switchRoot> show switchState: OnlineR_A_TOV: 100E_D_TOV: 20Preferred Domain ID: 1Domain ID Offset: 96Switch Priority: Never PrincipalRerouting Delay: DisabledInterop Mode: McDATA Fabric 1.0Active Domain ID: 1World Wide Name: 10:00:08:00:88:60:30:54Insistent Domain ID: DisabledDomain RSCN: EnabledZoning RSCN: EnabledFC Address Domain: 61 (hex)Limited Fabric RSCN: DisabledZone FlexPars: Fabric FilteringRSCN Zone Isolation: Fabric FilteringSafe Zoning: DisabledISL FSPF Cost: Ignore Port SpeedWeb Enabled: EnabledFrame Resize State: EnabledBlock Dup WWN State: DisabledAPI Enabled: EnabledAPI Management IP: 172.25.242.37Password Exp.

Step 2 Alter the timers, RA_TOV and ED_TOV, if needed. These options are listed in the config switch menu.

Step 3 Set the switch offline. The switch must be offline before changing the mode to interop.
