Fibre Channel switch fabric rules
This section describes the fabric rules for B-series Fibre Channel switches and routers, and other factors
you should consider when building B-series fabrics.
When using B-series Fibre Channel switches in a fabric:
• Use the HP default settings for all current HP switches.
• Use the legacy HP default settings if the fabric contains only legacy HP switches.
• Use the legacy Compaq default settings if the fabric contains only legacy Compaq switches or a
mix of legacy Compaq and legacy HP switches.
NOTE:
Contact HP Services for the configuration files that contain the appropriate switch settings.
