Hi,
Check the GBIC transceiver at switch side.
Also check the speed is fixed (not auto negotiation).

"support show" from the switch after connecting would give possibly more details.

Hi Vaman,
There are two types of devices (HBA cards) which are loop capable and the other ones are fabric capable.

Now you are trying to connect to switch which means your HBA needs FABRIC capability. You need to check that first becuase your adapter details shows that it is LOOP device.

Hope that helps.

Hello Again,
I just found out that this Adapter is capable of handling both topolgies (Loop as well as Fabric).
Refer the link below to see details on cofiguring and connecting your HBA to switch:
