cisco nex ISL with brocade DCX
Did anyone have experience on this kind of configuration?
Does it just like a standard cisco FC switch ISL with Brocade? or are there something different?

Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility. Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and can go unanswered for a long time.
You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right. Then search for and select: "Infrastructure Connectivity Support Forum"

When discussing heterogeneous switch topologies, generally speaking, there are several things you need to review:
1) Switch and firmware interoperability (E-Lab Interoperability Navigator)
a) https://elabnavigator.emc.com/do/navigator.jsp
b) Select: "Advanced Query"
c) Under "Connectivity" select: "Switch"
d) Then select the switch models in question selecting: "Add to cart" each time
e) Then select: "Get Results"
f) Then generate and review/compare the: "Switched Fabric Topology Parameters" output
2) Then you will want to review the overview and case studies under the topic: "Heterogeneous switch interoperability" of the Fibre Channel SAN Topologies techbook:
https://elabnavigator.emc.com/vault/pdf/FC_SAN.pdf
a) Review the section: "Heterogeneous switch interoperability" (starting page 150)
b) Within that section are important topics such as:
- Vendor-specific switch settings for interop
- Supported interoperability modes (Table 4 on page 192)

Hi,
In order to configure an ISL between a Cisco Nexus and a Brocade DCX, there are two options:
