need to know how to classify this as a storage switch instead of a ip switch.

 

looked at an artical that is available in the commuity but it is not very clear, can anyone please provide steps. 

 

i tried looking at the OID, change to storage switch, and discovers storage switch, but classifies as ip switch.

Hi @Lupe Pina 

 

It must be doing so because OOB switch classifier already might have your device OID. Probably try creating a new classifier and give priority higher than the n/w switch and then configure your custom pattern in the new classifier.

I found that taking the brocade IP switches out of the 'normal discovery' and allowing the SAN discovery to find them stops them from getting classified as ip switches.

 

we had a flip-flopping between storage switch and ip switch going on.

Kindly explain the statement "out of Normal Discovery & allowing the SAN Discovery" - How do we enable SAN discovery for a SAN Switch?
