For Troubleshooting reasons it is helpful to read the logs of a specific scanner

Due to a bug in FOS version 8.2.3a and 8.2.3a1, communication via SNMP and REST APIs is broken after an update causing Brocade REST scanners to fail.

Root cause is a file descriptor leak that occurs in weblinker during LDAP authentication. Once all file descriptors are consumed a verify error is logged.  This also results in webtools authentication failing, causing SANnav, BNA or BVQ to be unable to authenticate with the switch.

Applies to

BVQ Version: any

Procedure

Performing an ha Failover on a director or an ha reboot on a non-director will restore connectivity.  Once executed, disabling LDAP will prevent the issue from being hit.

If LDAP cannot be disabled, reducing the number of login attempts via HTTP/Webtools will increase the time frame before the issue is observed again.

Downgrading from 8.2.3a or 8.2.3a1 to a lower release will also stop the issue from occurring.

Final Fix
FOS 8.2.3a2
