ICX Campus Switches/FastIron Licensing FAQs posted

Posted on 10 Dec, 2017, in Uncategorized

We have heard from a number of customers and partners who are experiencing some difficulties with the transition from the legacy Brocade licensing tool (Brocade Software Portal) to the suite of licensing tools in the Ruckus Networks Support Portal.  We’ve been compiling a set of FAQs to help with frequently-identified issues, including differences in licensing termniology, processes, and delivery methods.  The new FAQs are linked to from the main Ruckus integration-acquisition page, and are located at https://support.ruckuswireless.com/ruckus-networks-documentation-support-education-faqs#licensingIf you find additional topics that we should consider including in the FAQs, please chime in here!Allan.

ICX Brocade switch forwarding LLDP packet

Posted on 07 Dec, 2017, in Uncategorized

Hello,I’m working a hybrid-vendor network. Here is how it is all connected:Cisco 4500 -> Brocade 7450 -> Brocade 7250 -> HP 2920 Situation:The funny thing is that on the uplink port of the HP switch (port 24) I’m seeing the Cisco 4500 LLDP info. By standard, it shouldn’t really be there. It’s 2 hops too far to show that data. ——————————————————————————  Local Port   : 24  ChassisType  : mac-address  ChassisId    : 78 a6 e1 09 cb 58  PortType     : mac-address  PortId       : 78 a6 e1 09 cb 8f  SysName      : SW-MDF-3-02  System Descr :  PortDescr    : 10GigabitEthernet1/2/7  Pvid         : 7  System Capabilities Supported  : bridge  System Capabilities Enabled    : bridge  Remote Management Address     Type    : ipv4     Address : 10.7.254.11——————————————————————————  Local Port   : 24  ChassisType  : local  ChassisId    : HRH-4500X-VSS  PortType     : local  PortId       : TenGigabitEthernet1/16  SysName      :  System Descr : Cisco IOS Software, IOS-XE Software, Catalyst 4500 L3 Swi…  PortDescr    :  Pvid         :  System Capabilities Supported  : bridge, router  System Capabilities Enabled    : bridge, router  Remote Management Address     Type    : ipv4     Address : 172.17.10.1My question is: does Brocade implement any sort of LLDP packet forward mechanism? If it does, can it be limited to only 1 switch?
