ISL Trunking Optimizes the performance and availability of SAN fabrics while simplifying ISL management. Two 4 Gbit/sec Brocade switches can automatically group up to eight ISLs into a single logical trunk with a total throughput of up to 32 Gbit/sec. Advanced Zoning Automatically groups SAN fabric-connected devices into logical zones that restrict access to member devices in the zone.

Chapter Introducing Web Tools Brocade Web Tools is a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables administrators to monitor and manage single or small fabrics, switches, and ports from a standard workstation. It is an optionally licensed product that runs on Brocade Fabric OS. Web Tools provides the administrative control point for Brocade Advanced Fabric Services, including Advanced Zoning, ISL Trunking, Advanced Performance Monitoring, and Fabric Watch.

Page 32: Admin Domains And Login
Administrative domains Admin Domains permit access to a configured set of users. If a switch is part of an Admin Domain, then when you log in with an account that has an administrator role, you can perform switch enable and disable functions and all switch port-level functions such as port enable and port disable. You cannot perform fabric-wide management, as switch membership within a zone does not provide zoning rights on the switch ports.
Page 33: Admin Domains And Switch Wwn
Role-Based access control ADMIN DOMAINS AND SWITCH WWN Admin Domains are treated as fabrics. Because switches cannot belong to more than one fabric, switch WWNs (world-wide names) are converted so that they appear as unique entities in different Admin Domains (fabrics). The switch WWN is in the following format: 10:00:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn In an Admin Domain context, the switch WWN is converted from NAA=1 to NAA=5 format, with the...

Page 60: Changing The Switch Domain Id
Configuring a switch Switch names can be a maximum of 15 characters for Fabric OS v5.3.0. Names must begin with an alphabetic character, but otherwise can consist of alphanumeric and underscore characters. NOTE It is recommended that you customize the chassis name for each switch. Some system messages identify a switch service by the chassis name, so if you assign meaningful chassis names in addition to meaningful switch names, logs will be more useful.
Page 61: Rebooting The Switch
Rebooting the switch Rebooting the switch When you reboot the switch, the reboot takes effect immediately. Ensure that there is no traffic or other management on the switch, as traffic is interrupted during the reboot; however, frames are not dropped. Be sure to save your changes before the reboot, as any changes that were not saved are lost.

Page 91: Configuring Fcip Ports
Configuring ports When the wizard prompts you to select allowed port types, if all of these boxes are selected, there are no constraints on port type. The port will negotiate to its preferred type when the switch comes up, depending on what type of device or switch it is connected to. Clearing a check box guarantees that the port will not attempt to function as a port of the unchecked type.
Page 92: Configuring Gbe Ports
Assigning a name to a port If you configure a disabled port as a VEX_Port, the wizard provides the Enable Port after configuration check box. If you select this check box, the disabled port is automatically enabled after configuration. If you leave this check box cleared, the port remains in the same state after configuration.

Page 104: User-Defined Admin Domains
About administrative domains USER-DEFINED ADMIN DOMAINS AD1 through AD254 are user-defined Admin Domains. These user-defined Admin Domains can be created only by a physical fabric administrator in AD255. SYSTEM-DEFINED ADMIN DOMAINS AD0 and AD255 are special Admin Domains and are present in every AD-capable fabric. AD0 is a system-defined Admin Domain that, in addition to containing members you explicitly added (similar to user-defined Admin Domains), it contains all online devices, switches, and switch ports that have not been assigned to any user-defined Admin Domain.
Page 105: Admin Domain Membership
Implementing administrative domains • Manage ACL and distribution (can be managed in AD0 if no other Admin Domains are present). • Advanced Performance Monitoring (can be managed in AD0 if no other Admin Domains are present). You cannot manage zones with AD255, because AD255 does not have a zone database associated with it.

Page 118: Zoning And Admin Domains
Zoning and admin domains Zoning and admin domains Each admin domain has its own zone database, with both defined and effective zone configurations and all related zone objects (zones, zone aliases, and zone members). Within an admin domain, you can configure zoning only with the devices that are present in that admin domain (direct members).
Page 119: Setting The Default Zoning Mode
Managing zoning with Web Tools SETTING THE DEFAULT ZONING MODE The default zoning mode defines the device accessibility behavior if zoning is not implemented or if there is no effective zone configuration. The default zoning mode has two options: • All Access—All devices within the fabric can communicate with all other devices.

Page 158: Mcdata Interoperability
About fibre channel routing backbone fabric An FC Router can connect two edge fabrics; a backbone fabric connects FC Routers. The backbone fabric is the fabric to which the FC Router switch belongs. A backbone fabric consists of at least one FC Router and possibly a number of Fabric OS-based Fibre Channel switches.
Page 159: Setting Up Fc-Fc Routing
Setting up FC-FC routing When FCR is interoperating with McDATA edge fabrics in Fabric mode and Open mode, it will support the LSANzone with the backbone devices. FCR will support the following McDATA versions: v4.1.1, v5.x, v6.x, v7.x, v8.x. Since Brocade has no way of knowing how the modern McDATA switch will operate natively in the future, there is no guarantee that the 5.3.0 version of FCR will work with any future version of McDATA fabric.

Page 213: Chapter 15 Using The Access Gateway
Chapter Using the Access Gateway Brocade Access Gateway allows multiple host bus adapters (HBAs) to access the fabric using fewer physical ports. Access Gateway mode transforms the 4012, 4016, 4020, 4024, and 200E into a device management tool that is compatible with different types of fabrics, including Brocade-, Brocade Enterprise OS (EOS), and Cisco-based fabrics.
