In Fibre Channel Reflector mode you should activate connection to a FC Switch, after
you have selected framing as SOF:Header:Data:CRC:EOFSOF:Header:Data:CRC:EOF. If activating connection to a
FC Switch when framing is set to SOF:Data:EOFSOF:Data:EOF, all frames outputted from the FC
Switch are reflected to it. This phenomenon may cause malfunction of the FC Switches
on the connected port.
