Notes The interopMode command must be executed on all Brocade switches in the fabric. Certain
restrictions apply when changing Fabric Modes. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for
more information.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
Operands This command has the following operands:
--
show Displays the current interop mode settings.
--
help Displays the command usage.
--
disable Disables interop mode. This command effectively returns the switch to
Brocade Native mode (IM0).
--
enable Enables and configures the specified interop mode settings. The following
operands are supported with this option:
-mcdata | -IM2 | -im2
Enables McDATA Fabric mode (IM2). All three operands are functionally
equivalent.
-defaultzone |-safezone
Enables default zoning or safe zoning. These operands are exclusive and
are valid only in McDATA Fabric mode (IM2). McDATA Default Zone and
McDATA Safe Zone are fabric-wide features. If one of these features is
enabled on one switch, it must be enabled on all other switches.
Otherwise the E_Port is segmented. Use the cfgmcdtMode command to
enable or disable the zoning features fabric wide.
-openmcdata | -IM3 | -im3
Enables McDATA Open Fabric mode (IM3). All three operands are functionally
equivalent.
-domainoffset domain_offset
Specifies the domain offset. The following domain offset values are
supported in both McDATA Fabric mode (IM2) and McDATA Open Fabric mode
(IM3): 0x00, 0x20, 0x40, 0x60, 0x80, 0xA0 and 0xC0. If a domain offset is
not specified, the default of 0x60 is used. To enable the 239 domain mode,
specify a domain offset value of 0xFF. This mode is valid only in McDATA Open
Fabric Mode (IM 3).
