Duplicate Logs for Brocade Switches in Same Fabric

If you discover more than one Brocade switch in the same fabric, the discovery log displays duplicate listings for the Brocade switches. Each Brocade switch is listed multiple times with the IP address of the other switches and its own.

For example, assume you are discovering Brocade switches QBrocade2 and QBrocade5 in the same fabric, two duplicate entries are displayed in the log. QBrocade2 is listed twice, once with its own IP address, the other time with the IP address of QBrocade5, as shown below.
