List -
Sorry for the OT post, but this list is so good, I had to give it a try.
Ok... enough sucking up...

Has anyone cascaded two fiber channel switches together? We have a 32
port brocade, and want to cascade it to another brocade. In essence we
want to "add" ports to a 32 port switch. All of the info I've found is
in relation to trunking switches. That's not what we want to do, we want
to ISL them. I want to take 1 port on the 32b, and connect it to 1 port
on an HP P-class internal switch, in an HP Blade enclosure. The blade
enclosure switches have 8 internal ports, and 4 external. I've heard
that all I need to do is connect a cable from one switch to the other
switch, and viola, ISL'd. Sounds too simple.

Any help appreciated.

Galen
