Specifications and Compatible Tools

The [Part Number] switch operates at 4GB or 8GB Fibre Channel speeds, with 24 or 48 ports, 100W power consumption, and 48V DC voltage. It supports FC-AL and FC-SW protocols, with a 2026-compatible firmware version of 6.4.2. Compatible tools include the Brocade Network Advisor 5.3 (2023 model) and the Brocade SAN Analyzer 4.0 (2024 model). Avoid using the Cisco Nexus 9000 series (part number C9600-96S) as it lacks FC-SW protocol support. Always verify the switch’s serial number against the OEM’s 2026 inventory database to confirm compatibility.

What to Check Before Buying a Used [Part Number] in 2026

Verify firmware version: Ensure the switch runs firmware 6.4.2 or later (2026 standard). Older versions may lack security patches.
Test fiber optic connectivity: Use a fiber tester (e.g., Fluke Networks DTX-1800) to confirm 4GB or 8GB link integrity. Reject units with >5% signal loss.
Check for specific part number presence: Confirm the switch includes part number 304-000-001 (2026 OEM warranty component). Missing parts void 2026 service guarantees.
Inspect port count and speed: Match the switch’s port count (24/48) and speed (4GB/8GB) to your 2026 network requirements.
Confirm lifecycle status: Ensure the switch is within its 2026 lifecycle (support until 2028). Units past this date may lack critical updates.
