FIGURE 25 Logical switches connected to devices and non-Virtual Fabrics switch
Figure 26 shows a logical representation of the physical chassis and devices in Figure 25. As
shown in Figure 26, the devices are isolated into separate fabrics.
FIGURE 26 Logical switches in a single chassis belong to separate fabrics
For information on allowing device sharing across fabrics in a Virtual Fabrics environment, refer to
“FC-FC routing and Virtual Fabrics” on page 636.
Management model for logical switches
The operations you can perform on a logical switch depend on the context you are in. Some
operations affect only a single logical switch, and some operations affect the entire physical
chassis.
