The Brocade documentation is pretty good. Which switches do you have? You can use the web gui to do a lot of the administration. If you have older ones, you may have to install an older version of Java Web Start or Open WebStart.

You could probably pick up an old Brocade 300 for cheap.

My problem with FC switches is that you mostly set it and forget it, but then something happens and you have to re-remember the syntax; usually because something broke.
