Brocade
Compatibility
Statement

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.

IMPORTANT:
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.

NOTE: This information is constantly being updated. For the latest compatibility information, visit
vendor Web sites, some of which are listed on page 6.

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 at:
http://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
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 helping customers with a valid Brocade Support Contract to resolve any compatibility
issues.

NOTE: If an item is not listed—it may simply mean that it has not been tested. It does not mean that it
is incompatible.

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.
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.

Brocade Compatibility Statement

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 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.

Data Center Ready Program

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
Data Center Ready Partner 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 infrastructure. For more
information about the Brocade Developer Program and Data Center Ready compatibility:
http://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.

There are quite a few notes in this chapter (in parentheses), so be sure to look at the list on page-57.
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 switches, such as the Brocade 5300 Switch. Note that
Brocade transceivers are compatible with the Brocade Encryption Switch. See your Brocade
representative for additional compatibility details.

NOTES:
a. SFPs qualified and supported for use on the Brocade 48000 Director are supported by Brocade when a
16-port blade is used in a Brocade 24000 Director chassis. Qualified by Brocade and End of Life (EOL) by
Brocade and/or supplier
b. Qualified by Brocade and EOL by Brocade and/or supplier
c. Copper SFP
d. Support on the AP7420 requires XPath OS v7.4.1a or higher. Support on the 7500 and 48000/FR4-18i
requires Fabric OS v5.2.0a or higher
e. Brocade switch must be running FOS 6.2.0c or later
f. Compatible with the Brocade Encryption Switch
g. Includes reduced operating temp “-BR” derivative temporarily shipped under deviation
h. Announced as End of Life by the supplier. These SFPs are currently not qualified and Brocade recommends
that you use other qualified/supported SFPs wherever possible
i. Announced as End of Life by the supplier
j. Brocade 300, 5100, 5300, and DCX/DCX4S must be running FOS 6.2.0c
k. Compatibility verified through Data Center Ready Program
l. Brocade switch must be running FOS 6.3.0 or later
