Chapter 4. Implementing the SAN Data Gateway 309
Switch registration
With VPS enabled, the switch will register with the database the WWPN of
the port on the IBM SAN Fibre Channel Switch. Figure 4-41 shows a switch
connected to port 4 of the Gateway, and which has registered to the
database. Since we cannot load any host registration software onto the
switch, all other fields are left unknown.

By selecting and highlighting the Fibre Channel port, as shown in Figure 4-42,
you will see in the right-hand view pane that the port is now using a point to point,
or N_port, connection that denotes a fabric login rather than a loop login.
