Hi Stevan,
I dont have the access to the Web GUI, as I am working remotely on the Lab Equipments. Here are the outputs of few commands:

Please let me know.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Sushil,

the switchshow output is showing that the flow control mode is incompatible between the 2 switches. Can you post the output of the configshow command from both switches? It seems like there is some parameter(s) not matching on the switches, probably one of the values Marino mentioned earlier. My guess would be something like BB_credit. Firmware and Domain ID are both OK, and you have zoning off on the 2nd switch, so you've got that part setup correctly.

Regards,
Stephen

Hi Sushil

New Yaer Greetings!

I happend to see your quey while I was searching for a solution for the same problem on the web.

Today I got the solution of my query & my switches are working fine.

Tips:
1. Compare the configshow output of both the switches.
2. Goto webadmin->configure->Fabric Parameters-> uncheck Core Switch PID Format.(before that you have to disable the Switch)

Then restart the switch.

It should be done only on that switch which is showing "6e:6b:6e:75:00:6e:77:6f" in postshow output.

I hope it should help you.

Good luck.

Sumit

I suggest you use "Core PID = Format 1" on all switches. This makes it much easier to add new switches in future, where this is the default setting.

Hi,

      I am having cascaded SAN switch envionment, containting two Brocade 3800 switches connected to each other. On the ISL ports I am getting following error:

segmented,incompatible,(Op Mode incompatible)

Please let me know what could be done to remove the issue.
