Important notes
This section contains information that you should consider before you use this Fabric OS release.
New OUI Support on B-series platforms
Overview
The OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) value is part of a Fibre Channel WWN that uniquely
identifies the manufacturer of Fibre Channel products. The OUI values assigned to Brocade are
used by Fabric OS to validate certain fabric interoperability support.
The currently assigned OUI/WWN values have been exhausted, necessitating Brocade to use a
new OUI value for WWN assignment. The new OUI value for Brocade is 00:05:33. A WWN
of 10:00:00:05:33:41:5c:c1, for example, demonstrates the usage of the new OUI.
Fabric OS 6.3.1a and later has been enhanced to recognize the new Brocade OUI value to
guarantee proper functionality. It is important to note that no switch with the new OUI/WWN
