Cisco Nexus 5596 and Brocade 5300 compatibility

[Amir Mehri]

Hi

We have designed the SAN network with Brocade5300 connected to Nexus5596. we want to know about the campatibility of these two switches.

I can't find any compatibility matrix with this detail.

i would appreciate it if you let me know about your experience.

Thank you

Amir,

Check this.

I am not sure how recent it is and when this testing was done. I would suggest you to run " Gateway mode" AKA NPIV mode for Cisco and test this with Brocade 5300. It should work fine.

Hope this helps.

Thank you dear amit for your respond

i checked this document before and there is not such test compatibility in them. but this matter is very important, because we want to buy these switches and so we want to be sure about the compatibility of them.

i need to be sure about them.
