Instructor Introduction
Overview of Brocade
Intro to Fiberchannel Protocol
This course covers the documentation needed to successfully manage a fiber channel fabric
Introduction to Fabric topology types
We cover the Core to edge fabric topology
We go over the Line topology
We cover the Garbage topology
Discover how fabric shortest path first (FSFP) prevents loops in Brocade Fiber Channel by routing frames across the fabric to reveal the shortest path, contrasting with Ethernet.
Port Types and descriptions are covered in this course.
This course reviews all the commands and techniques needed to pull logs from a brocade switch
overview of the port side of a 16Gb Brocade switch
We review what the porterrshow command does and how to look at the output to diagnose common issues.
Learn to troubleshoot brocade fiber channel switches by parsing port and fabric logs with text tools, interpreting show outputs, checking SFP and port errors, zoning, and firmware considerations.
Interact with brocade web tools, a java-based web interface on the switch, to view switch information and events, manage zones with aliases for WWIDs, and inspect the effective zone config.
Explore Brocade fiber channel zoning with web tools, comparing standard alias-based zoning to peer zoning. Learn to create aliases, define zones, clone configurations, enable changes, and track revisions.
Explore how virtual fabrics run on a brocade switch, check a switch for logical fabrics, and configure logical switches with set context to switch between base and logical domains.
