Introduction to
Brocade
Compatibility

This document summarizes equipment known to be compatible with the Brocade product family.
Products named in the compatibility tables reflect equipment tested at Brocade or tested externally.

Background
In an earlier version of this document, published in early 2008, the following 2 Gbps platforms were
removed: Brocade (SilkWorm) 3000, 3200, 3800, 3014, 3016, 3250, 3850, 3900, 12000, and
24000; and Brocade AP7420. However, we have made the previous version, which includes these
platforms, available with the current version.
Also, Chapter 24 in that earlier version of this document, Scalability, has been moved to a
standalone document entitled, Brocade Scalability Guidelines, available on the same Web site as
the current version of this document.
The chapter entitled Brocade Fabric Services Summary has been removed from this release.
Similarly the chapter entitled Brocade Product Descriptions has been changed so that it provides
information about the earliest version of Brocade Fabric OS (FOS) supported on the platform and
the last version if in fact the platform is at End Of Life (EOL). The most current information about
firmware and platform features is readily available on www.brocade.com.

NOTE: This information is constantly being updated. For the latest compatibility information, visit
vendor Web sites, some of which are listed on page 3.

Overview
Brocade and its OEM and Developer Partners have tested a wide variety of devices for compatibility
with the Brocade product family. You can find a current list of Brocade products and Data Sheets at:
www.brocade.com/products-solutions/products/index.page
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. Brocade cannot provide direct
support for the end nodes or applications listed in this document but 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 Brocade is
committed to helping customers with a valid Brocade Support Contract to resolve any compatibility
issues.

NOTE: If an item is not listedit 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.

Brocade Compatibility Matrix December 20, 2010 1


Introduction to Brocade Compatibility

Users of this list should plan on validating their specific configuration with a level of testing
appropriate to their application.
Brocade expects suppliers of complete solutions (OEM or Integration Partners) 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
product and to work with Partners to help resolve compatibility issues as they are reported.
Sections titled Brocade Compatibility Matrix Quick Reference and Brocade Compatibility Matrix by
Vendor provide an overview of devices that are compatible 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 supporting these devices. Brocade 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.

Brocade Data Center Ready


A check mark in the Data Center Ready column in the Brocade Compatible Matrix Quick
Reference sections indicates products that have been tested within the guidelines of the Brocade
Developer Program. This program provides a set of key guidelines to ensure that partners' products
meet the minimum requirements for compatibility in a Brocade networked storage environment.
Data Center Ready is intended to provide additional assurance that standard off-the-shelf
components can integrate seamlessly in an existing Brocade data center infrastructure. For more
information about the Brocade Developer Program and Data Center Ready compatibility, visit:
www.brocade.com/partnerships/technology-alliance-partners/developers/index.page
In addition to the product testing performed by Brocade, Brocade 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
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.

Brocade Network Ready


A check mark in the Network Ready column indicates products that have been tested within the
guidelines of the Brocade Technology Alliance Partner Program. This program provides a set of key
guidelines to ensure that partners' products meet the minimum requirements for compatibility in a
Brocade networking environment. Network Ready is intended to provide additional assurance that
standard off-the-shelf components can integrate seamlessly in an existing Brocade network
infrastructure. For more information about the Brocade Strategic Alliances Program:
www.brocade.com/partnerships/technology-alliance-partners/technology-alliances/index.page
In addition to the product testing performed by Brocade, Brocade Technology Alliance 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
they support. Products and product variants not specifically listed in this document might be
compatible and supported in a network infrastructure. The third-party product vendor is the first line
for questions on supported devices, network configuration, software versions, and settings for
end-to-end solution deployment.

Brocade Product
Information

To find out more about Brocade platforms and to view data sheets for these products, visit:
http://www.brocade.com/products-solutions/products/index.page
Brocade provides information about the ASICs in data center products, since the behavior of the
product in a Layer 2 data center network is largely determined by the ASIC. In the table below,
Earliest FOS Version indicates the earliest version of FOS supported and Last FOS Version
indicates the latest version. In other words, any version of FOS between these two is supported on
the switch.
NOTE: The Brocade Encryption Switch is a Condor 2-based platform and as a Fibre Channel switch in
the fabric behaves in the same way as similar 8 Gigabits per second (Gbps) switches when
encryption is not used. Compatibility details are included in Chapter 24, "Encryption".
NOTE: All Brocade platforms in the table support hot code activation unless otherwise noted.

NOTE: The Brocade Encryption Switch is a Fibre Channel switch and behaves in the same way as
similar 8 Gbps switches. Compatibility details are included in <X-Ref>Chapter 24,
<X-RefEmphasis>Encryption.
IMPORTANT: The behavior of the Brocade Advanced Fabric OS feature Trunking is highly dependent
on site configuration, so it may or may not be supported with vendor products that are otherwise
compatible.
