NOTE Translative mode does not allow private hosts to communicate with
public devices on the switch.
An example of a QuickLoop fabric configuration is to replace the two
hubs shown in the previous illustration with a single Fibre Channel
switch. You can connect Host 1 and Host 2 to F_Ports on the switch, and
connect each private target device to a QuickLoop port.
Figure 1-3 shows that Host 1 and Host 2 are now public hosts, each
having access to any of the QuickLoop target devices through the
translative mode function.

NOTE The following configuration can be used when you are in the process of
migrating to fabric but your fabric environment is not yet fully
functional.
