Changing TL Modes
You can configure a TL_Port to support a loop of private target devices or a loop
of private initiator devices.
■
For a loop of up to 124 private target devices, choose the TL Target radio
button. This enables up to 63 initiator devices anywhere in the fabric to
automatically connect with the private devices on the TL_Port. Group the
TL_Port and up to 63 initiators in the same soft or VPF zone using worldwide
name or domain ID and port ID membership to limit the number of possible
initiators to 63.
■
For a loop of up to 125 private initiator devices, choose the TL Initiator radio
button. This enables the private initiators on the TL_Port to automatically
connect to up to 64 target and initiator devices in the same soft or VPF zone.
You must group the TL_Port and the target devices in the same soft or VPF
zone using worldwide name or domain ID and port ID membership. If there
are more than 65 members in the zone, the TL_Port will be unable to
communicate with the fabric.
Table 6-9 Port Modes
State Description
F_Port Fabric port - Supports a single public device (N_Port).
FL_Port Fabric loop port - Supports a loop of up to 126 public devices (NL_Port).
TL_Port Translated loop port - Supports a loop of up to 124 private target or 125
private initiator devices capable of communicating with up to 63 off-loop
initiator devices or 64 off-loop target devices. Refer to the SANbox2-64
Fibre Channel Switch Installation Guide for more information about
TL_Ports.
G_Port Generic port - Self discovers as an F_Port or an E_Port.
GL_Port Generic loop port - Self discovers as an F_Port, FL_Port, or an E_Port.
GL_Port is the default port mode. A single device on a public loop will
attempt to configure as an F_Port first, then if that fails, as an FL_Port.
Donor Donor port - Allows buffer credits to used by another port.
