Greetings.We have an existing MDS 9124 fabric to which I need to add a brocade switch. I understand the solution to this is to change the vsan to interop mode 3, however I am concerned about doing this on a production vsan. Will changing the interop ...
Greetings,We're considering replacing our MDS 9124 with a Nexus 5k (specifically the 5548UP). Would we have any issues using the nexus as our san director?Also, does the nexus 5548UP support running FCoE and Ethernet over the same 10 Gb wire like the...
Has anybody here run a nortel CS1000E VoIP system through a Nexus 7000? If so, can you shed some light on your QoS configuration? (Did you re-mark the DSCP values? Trust CoS? What DSCP's did you use for signaling and payload? etc...)
So I'm starting to realize that interop mode is kind of like sticking my head in a bees nest.... Not a good idea.If I put the brocade into AG mode, you say that traffic doesn't have to traverse the ISL up to the fabric when the array and hosts are bo...
That was my thought also. it might be disruptive. Problem is there isn't anything that I see in documentation that would suggest that it either is or isn't, and I don't have a non-production pair of switches to test it on
Agreed. Though I would eventually hope they would all be gone from my network and we'll run FCoE. I'm just waiting for enough budget for a quartet of n5k's.So back to the original question. Given the ISL's, is changing the MDS to interop mode 3 a di...
The switch is an HP branded Brocade 300.I could theoretically also try to put the cisco in to NPV mode yes?The only thing I don't like about putting the brocade into AG mode is that since the brocade is the newer switch, I would think it would be be...
Here's what I get for posting something like this prior to coffee....I actually do have ISL's.My current fabric looks like thisMDS 9124 Fabric A switch A <-----> MDS 9124 Fabric A switch BMDS 9124 Fabric B switch A <-----> MDS 9124 Fabric B switch BT...
