When it says "connected" it's not error-disabling as others have tried
pointing out.

I'm not sure how Brocade does, but if it was a Cisco switch in the other
end it could be that e.g. STP loop guard had blocked the link. A link
down/up event would make STP recalculate and thus open the link again.

Another possibility might be a unidirectional link, though I can't see
how forcing down/up would resolve that.

I think the problem is easiest to determine with access to the Brocade
switch. Do the people managing that switch not have logs of some kind to
consult?
