Supported Hardware and Software
In those instances in which procedures or parts of procedures documented here apply to some switches
but not to others, this guide identifies exactly which switches are supported and which are not.
Although many different software and hardware configurations are tested and supported by Brocade
Communications Systems, Inc. for 5.0.1, documenting all possible configurations and scenarios is
beyond the scope of this document.
This document does not support all versions. This document is specific to 5.0.1. To obtain information
