The Brocade Access Gateway is a feature for Brocade blade server and entry-level SAN switches. Therefore, the Brocade SAN Switches for HP c-Class and p-Class BladeSystems are all supported. Depending on the model, it must use Brocade Fabric OS® v5.2.1b and higher. The fabric edge switch/director to which the Brocade 8Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class in Access Gateway mode is connected to must support NPIV functionality as described in version 1.4 of the FS-LS specification. If the fabric edge switch/director is a Brocade switch, it must use Brocade Fabric OS® v5.2.1b and higher depending on the model.
