Fabric and Edge switch configuration

• If DCC security is being used on Edge switches that directly connect to the FC SAN Module,
make sure to include the module WWN or the port WWN of the external ports (N_Ports). Also
include the HBA WWNs that will be connected to internal ports (F_Ports) to the ACL list in the
ACL policy. It is recommended to use FC SAN Module ADS policy instead of the DCC policy on
the Edge switch.
• Allow inband queries for forwarded fabric management requests from the hosts. Add the FC
SAN Module WWN to the access list if inband queries are restricted.
Before connecting the FC SAN Module to Brocade switches, disable the Brocade Fabric OS
Management Server Platform Service to get accurate statistical and configuration fabric data,
Verifying the switch mode
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Enter the switchShow command to display the current switch configuration.
The following example shows a switch in the Fabric OS Native mode where switchMode
displays as Native.
switch:admin> switchshow
