Hey to those how able to help me *hopefully*,
I try to connect to IBM 24E over patchpannel and long wave SFPs from Brocade.
We have for both SAN switches Full Fabric licenses deployed.
But the actual situaltion is the following: the where the SFP is connectet to show the port status: no_light on both switches.
I already turned around the plugs, the LC/SC cables that are used are new one.
Concerning the fact that the patch panel cable was correctly assigned by the technician how installed the obtical cables (means: I assume that there is no failure between SAN switch #1 and #2).
For me it's the first time that I have to struggle with such a toppic. I hope you can support me somehow.

Hello rlc!
Can you share with us a switchshow and a sfpshow of the ports on each switch ?
sfpshow can tell you if the sfp are working okay.

Hey guys,
the problem is solved. I think I've done a very stupid mistake.The cable from the SAN switch was connected to a wrong patch panel port. But unfortunately our patch panles are not in the same order. That means in room #1 we do have: pp1, pp2, pp3.
In room #2: pp3, pp1, pp2. :-s
The problem was in front of the device not the device itself.
Thank you for supporting.

Hey lrc!
goot to know that you will not need to replace anything on your devices.
Keep in mind that the fabric is "segmented" this is because you need to do further configurations, like to "merge" the configuration database (if any), configure domain ID's and set security policy (if needed). Are you aware about this ?
