Note
  1. Brocade REST API is supported on SAN switches running Fabric OS 8.2.1b and later. All switches running earlier versions cannot be monitored by BVQ!
  2. Fabric related information is gathered from the principal switch. Please make sure that the fabric principal is running a supported FOS version!
  3. Brocade switches configured in access gateway mode are supported but need to be added to the scanner configuration manually.

Warning:

Prior Due to configuring weaknesses in the Brocade switches via REST API, please stop all scanner instances using the BNA!REST API, some information might be missing in BVQ in FOS versions < 8.2.3b. E.g. trunk information is not available in FOS 8.2.1.x
