—>>> i have 2 brocade 300 switch. how i can connect this 2 brocde 300 switch (cabeling) fail over configuration?

here are TWO Methode to Create a Failover, Both Switch as Standalone, or both Swicthes in the same Fabric.

If ou want to create a Unique Fabric with both Switches, you need to Connect Switch 1 to Switch 2 with a FC Cable.

This is called ISL = Inter Switch Link. In ISL Mode you need you to create a config in one switch and is immediately available in all other switch in the fabric.

when you prefered to work with both switch as Standalone, you must create the config n both switch. This  is in some case the better and sure Way, but requiered some ecperience in SAN Env.

as mentioned, see first in the learning portal before you begin with a productive Env. all this is a little hard if your dont have experience with such technology.
