    We go over the Line topology

  • Fabric Topologies - Garbage4:32

    We cover the Garbage topology

  • Fabric Shortest path first - FSFP5:03

    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.

  • Troubleshooting - Port Types5:05

    Port Types and descriptions are covered in this course.

  • Pulling Logs and Troubleshooting7:38

    This course reviews all the commands and techniques needed to pull logs from a brocade switch

    We review what the porterrshow command does and how to look at the output to diagnose common issues.

  • Troubleshooting - Parsing through logs24:47

    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.

  • Troubleshooting - Case study - Faulty Cable2:51

    Troubleshoot a faulty Brocade fiber channel cable by analyzing port errors, identifying the cable as the problem originator, replacing the bad cable, and reassessing for remaining issues.

  • Troubleshooting - case study - slow drain device9:23

    Analyze case studies and logs to diagnose slow drain device issues in a Brocade fiber channel fabric, using C-3 timeouts and garbage frames.

  • Zoning7:45

    Explore how zoning in Brocade fiber channel links specific hosts (initiators) to selected storage targets using host and storage aliases.

  • zoning part 16:00

    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.

  • zoning part 217:13

    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.

  • Target Driven Zoning4:24

    Learn how target driven zoning lets storage devices create zones from their management console, enabling easy zoning across multiple storage appliances while noting mixed environments and port configurations.

  • Logical Fabrics6:17

    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.

Requirements

  • Very Basic understanding of Fiber channel or Just purchased a Brocade Fiber channel switch
