NOTE:

Cisco NPV mode can be supported with Brocade fabric configured in interopmode or Native
mode. If the MDS9124e NPV is connected to an external fabric comprising of only Brocade
switches, use Brocade Native mode only. If the MDS 9124e NPV is connected to an external fabric
with a mix of Brocade and Cisco switches, then Brocade (and Cisco) switches must be set to
interopmode 1.

•

Brocade AG mode is supported with FOS-OS 5.2.1b or later.

NOTE:

Brocade AG mode can be supported with Cisco fabric configured in interopmode or Native mode.
If the AG is connected to an external fabric comprising of only Cisco switches, use Cisco Native
mode only. If the AG is connected to an external fabric with a mix of Cisco and Brocade switches,
then Brocade (and Cisco) switches must be set to interopmode 1.
Brocade AG interoperability with Cisco is supported with Emulex HBAs only (no QLogic HBA
support).

•

Continuous Access EVA and Continuous Access XP storage systems are supported in a C-series
and B-series interoperable heterogeneous switch fabric configurations. See

Table 5

EVA and XP firmware versions.
