Initial MP Router setup rules
When an MP Router is powered on for the first time, by default all ports are disabled. You must explicitly
set each MP Router port to the desired port type before making any cable connections. Refer to Table 4
and Table 5 for specific port information.
NOTE:
Since it is expected that the majority of installations will use the MP Router for Fibre Channel routing,
EX_Port type will be the typical port setting.
Table 4 and Table 5 list MP Router port modes and p ort type functions.
