About This Document
This document is a procedural guide to help SAN administrators configure and manage Brocade
Access Gateway.
This preface contains the following sections:
Supported hardware and software
This document is specific to Fabric OS v5.3.0 or higher running on the Brocade 200E switch and
the Brocade 4012, 4016, 4020, and 4024 embedded switches.
When procedures or parts of procedures documented here apply to some switches but not to
others, this guide identifies which switches are supported and which are not.
This document sometimes mentions other Fabric OS releases to highlight the changes in the latest
release or to point out interoperability issues with other Brocade models. It also specifies when
procedures or steps of procedures apply only to specific Brocade models.
Although many different software and hardware configurations are tested and supported by
Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. for this Brocade Fabric OS release, documenting all
possible configurations and scenarios is beyond the scope of this document.
