    Community Members,

    The Brocade Community is transitioning to become a Broadcom Fibre Channel SAN Community, now that Brocade is a Broadcom Limited company.

    We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our community members for their support answering questions and helping their peers with Brocade deployments since the community launched way back in 2003.

    Next week, we will be transitioning legacy Brocade Community data to the organizations and locations below. You may receive communications from one or more of these community websites depending if you have posted content to that specific product segment.

    Brocade Community Forums and their new landing spots:

    Will our posts and responses be transferred to the new forums in the new companies?  How will we be associated with our posts?  If our question was on an ICX product, does that go to Extreme or to Arris/Ruckus?

    Great question.   The answer is yes.   Extreme Networks, Ruckus and Pulse Secure all have Community forums.   I am in the process of packaging the forum, blog and document data for each specific forum that matches to the above buyers.   For example, your posts on the Ethernet Switches and Routers forum will be migrated to the Extreme Networks Community.   If you participated in Mobile or Wireless forums your posts would be migrated to the Ruckus Community Forums and so on.

     

    Below are the welcome pages and more information about where your content will resurface.

     

    Thank you

    Thank you Jason, but I'm still a little confused.  My ICX 7150 switches are branded with Ruckus (Arris), and Ruckus has a new forum for "ICX Campus Switches and General Switching Questions"  plus they have the FastIron updates for downloadis as well as all the documentation on the Ruckus site; so how does Extreme networking fit into my ICX switches?

    My bad - the exception is ICX.  You are correct the ICX product line has moved to Ruckus - https://forums.ruckuswireless.com/ruckuswireless.    I know it's confusing with so many of our products split between 4 plus companies.   I am working on a post to add more clarity and we are working on rebuilding this community as Broadcom SAN.

     

    Thank you for your questions and participation.
