4.1.3 FC Host Port Topology
You can set up the FC topology for each host port. You should be sure
that the topology setting is correct for your configuration.
..
To set up the host port topology:
1. In SAM, select
Manage EF2800
>
General Config
>
Host Port
Configuration
. The Host Port Configuration page displays.
2. In the Advanced Options panel, click the blue Change Host Port
Topology text.
A second Host Port Configuration page displays. The current
topology setting displays for each host port.
3. For each SM module, select the topology option you want.
- Loop: Use this option for all configurations except when the
EF2800 is connected to a switch F-port.
- Point to Point: Use this option
only
when you connect the
EF2800 to a switch F-port. If you change from Loop to Point to
Point after already establishing a public loop connection, the
switch may ignore subsequent attempts to perform point to
point initialization. To resolve this, refer to Chapter
10 ,
"Troubleshooting and Problem Solving" on page 141 .
4. Click
Save and Continue
to save your changes and return to the
first Host Port Configuration page.
