Interop Mode for Zoning

When a zone set is activated, SANbox switches and other FC-SW-2 compliant switches propagate the active zone set to all switches in the fabric. Some non-FC-SW-2 compliant switches propagate not only the active zone set, but the entire zoning database. Disabling the Interop Mode parameter causes the SANbox switch to propagate the zoning database, and therefore, interoperate with non-FC-SW-2 compliant switches. For FC-SW-2 compliant fabrics, the Interop Mode parameter should be enabled.

Note: The Interop Mode setting must be the same on all switches in the

fabric, otherwise the inter-switch links will not connect.

4.7.2.8

Legacy Port Address Format

Legacy Address Format should be enabled only to permit interoperation with certain older non-FC-SW-2 compliant switches. Enabling this setting under other circumstances will disable zoning that is defined by domain ID and port number. This setting is available only when the Interop Mode setting is disabled. Contact your authorized maintenance provider for assistance in using this feature. Refer to the QLogic Switch Interoperability Guide on the QLogic Web site for a complete discussion of configuring for operation with non-Qlogic Switches.

Note: The Legacy Address Format setting must be the same on all switches in the fabric, otherwise the inter-switch links will not connect.
