Director 2/64 Installation Guide
Depending on device connections, G_Ports work as follows:
■
If the G_Port is attached to a Fibre Channel device, the port functions as a
fabric port (F_Port). An F_Port is the interface on a director that connects to a
device N_Port.
■
If the G_Port is attached to another director to form an Interswitch Link (ISL),
the port functions as an expansion port (E_Port). A multi-switch fabric is
formed through multiple directors and ISLs.
