MDS 9509 : interopmode 1 with brocade

[fdelhommeau]

Hi

I have one fabric with 1 MDS (SanOS 3.1(3a)interop-1, default priority 128) switch and 1 brocade switch.

I want the MDS switch be always the principal in the fabric. How can i set MDS ?

each time the brocade enter in fabric, the brocade became principal :(

thanks

You want Cisco MDS to be the principal switch, this is all explained in the FC standards.

The switch with the lowest wwn becomes the principal switch if the domain priorities set the same.

It is all explained in MDS config guide:
