Brocade

IP Fabric version: 4.3.x and newer

Description: Brocade purchased Ruckus Wireless and uses the same MAC OUI. To discover Brocade devices, we have enabled Brocade Communications Systems LLC and Ruckus Wireless in the OUI table (Settings → Discovery & Snapshots → Global Configuration → OUI).

Issue for networks that contain Ruckus Wireless equipment: Because we have enabled the OUI, IP Fabric will try logging in to all the Access Points, which has caused discovery to hang in our lab network.

Fix for Ruckus Wireless environments that DO NOT have Brocade devices: Disable Ruckus Wireless in Settings → Discovery & Snapshots → Global Configuration → OUI.

Fix for Ruckus Wireless environments that DO have Brocade devices (either option should work):

  • Disable Ruckus Wireless in Settings → Discovery & Snapshots → Global Configuration → OUI and add Brocade IP addresses to Settings → Discovery & Snapshots → Discovery Settings → Discovery Seeds.
  • Add Ruckus Wireless IP addresses (must include /32 at the end) in Settings → Discovery & Snapshots → Discovery Settings → Discovery → IP Scope → IP networks to exclude from discovery and analysis.
