ISL between Brocade FOS version 6.3.1b and Brocade FOS version 5.2.1b

When I have a zone config with port number greater than 255 on Brocade 5480 with FOS version 6.3.1b and 24K with FOS version 5.2.1b, the ISL gets segmented on 5480 with reason port "mode Incompatible" and "applying remote db failed" on 24K
Is there any work around for this problem ?

Apart from having any problem or not - version 5.2.1b is so old, you should consider to update it anyway (assuming there is a much newer version for this model).

Hope this helps!

Looking in SPOCK - http://www.hp.com/storage/spock - it appears the supported versions for a 24K is (recommended) 5.3.2c or 5.3.2b.
Next, the release notes for 6.3.1b will list the older versions with which it is compatible.

And for what it's worth, again looking in SPOCK, any switch that can use 6.3.1b can be updated to 6.4.1a.
