Telnet Commands

Enable or disable switch interoperability with switches from other
manufacturers.
Syntax interopMode [mode]
Availability Admin
Description Use this command to enable or disable interoperability mode for
individual switches. This feature enables other manufacturers’
switches to be used in a fabric.
This command must be executed on all switches in the fabric. The
switch must be rebooted after changing interoperability mode. In a
heterogeneous fabric, several features are not available in order to
provide maximum compatibility between switches.
Domain IDs must be in the 97 to 127 value range for successful
connection to other switches. The firmware automatically assigns a
valid domain ID, if necessary, when interoperability mode is enabled
on the switch.
Before enabling interoperability mode, the individual fabrics should
be inspected for compatibility. Zones should be inspected to ensure
that they meet the zone criteria and restrictions. Remove or disable
any unsupported optional features. Disable the Platform
Management functions using the msPlMgmtDeactivate command.
Operand This command has the following operand:
mode Specify 1 to enable interoperability mode; specify 0
to disable interoperability mode. This oeprand is
optional. If no operand is specified, the current
value is displayed.
