Thanks to Todd Willeat, and Richard Aranas:
Yes it is that simple. Just make sure your Firmware levels are up to
date, Run a cable between the switches, and they act like one switch.
Just keep an eye on: Domain ID, they must be different on each switch in
an ISL, and which switch is Principal, and which is Subordinate.

Subject: [HPADM] OT: Cascade Brocade Switches
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
