Highest supported Brocade DCX firmware version to be interoperable with Cisco Nexus 5020

[anwarqureshi786]

A Cisco Nexus 5020 (FCoE) switch is connected to Brocade DCX-B switch.

5020 is at latest firmware level of 5.0.2.N2.1

Brocade is at firmware level of 6.2.1b

If we need to upgrade brocade firmware, what is the maximum revision we can go to? Is there some documentation available for interoperability between the code levels of the two hardwares?

Hi Anwarul,

Please refer to "Table 7-10     Nexus InterOp Matrix" near the end of this link:

Thanks Ken.

So according to this Interop Matrix, Nexus switch with code version 5.0.2.N2.1  connected to Brocade DCX with code 6.2.1b is unsupported?

The matrix does not list any 5.x codes but only 4.x for Nexus with Brocade.

Hi Anwarul,

That's the most recent interoperabiltiy doc. that I could find on the cisco.com site.

If you need more details, you may be able them if you open a Service Request.
