Task 9: Connecting Fibre Channel Ports
Fibre Channel Port
Connections
The ports are labeled 1 through 12 on the front of the SAN Router (see
Figure 2-4, Fibre Channel Ports (Two of twelve). The default setting is FC
- Auto. The FC port LEDs, located to the left of the associated ports,
are dual-color LEDs (green and amber). Green indicates a GE setting
for the port, and amber indicates an FC setting for the port. The LEDs
blink when there is traffic, the rate of blinking increasing with more
traffic.
Connect these ports to:
• Hosts/Initiators
— FC HBA port connections.
— FC Intelligent Array ports functioning in an initiator role.
• Targets/Storage.
—FC JBOD ports.
— FC storage array ports.
— FC tape drive/ library ports.
•FC switches
— FC switch E_Ports.
— SCSI to FC bridge devices.
