  • 1.  Access Denied almost everywhere ?

    Hello.

     

    It seems that I keep getting access denied on most of the forums related to Brocade.

    For example this URL returns an access denied : https://community.brocade.com/t5/Ethernet-Fabric-VDX-CNA/SFP-modules-and-licensing-for-VDX/td-p/23569

    Like most of the links I can find on Google.

     

    Is this expected ?

     

    Thank you.

    Sounds like a corporate firewall issue that happens when the domain is blocked.   We are not experiencing any issues from the platform level.   I checked your link on my corporate LAN and external tmobile cell phone with no issues.   I would check with your IT Department to make sure there are not blocks for community.broadcom.com or community.brocade.com.

     

    Thanks

    I get the same thing. 404 errors to all the pages I used to get to on this site.

    Sorry, I wasn't looking at the URL.    During the transition to Broadcom many of our products were divested to other companies who acquired the product lines.   In this case of Ethernet Switches and Routers - Extreme should have the content you are looking for on their community.   The content that used to reside on the Brocade Community was packaged and delivered to the Extreme Community for integration.

     

    During the transition, the content was hidden with directs to some of the new communities.   We just archived all of the divested community links causing the 404 error.   My apologies.

    Hi @KLog and @Legacy User

     

    please let me know, or better post here the exact URL from a page not reachable.
