Enabling and Disabling Interoperability Mode

9. After enabling interoperability mode on all switches, physically connect the non-Brocade switches

into the Brocade fabric, one at a time.

To disable interoperability mode

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.

2. Enter the switchDisable command to disable the switch.

3. Enter the interopmode 0 command to disable interoperability. This command resets a number of

parameters and disables interactive mode.

4. Reboot the switch after changing the interoperability mode:

5. Wait for a fabric reconfiguration after removing each switch.

6. Each non-Brocade switch might require the execution of a similar command to disable

interoperability.

7. Repeat this procedure on all Brocade switches in the fabric.

switch:admin> switchdisable

switch:admin> interopmode 0

The switch effective configuration will be lost when the operating mode is changed;

do you want to continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y

done.

Interopmode is disabled

Note: It is recommended that you reboot this switch for the new change to take effect.
