Network Configuration Examples
Note: McDATA prefers World Wide Name (WWN) zoning
over port zoning. It allows the zoning to continue working
when cables are moved from port to port during switch
troubleshooting. Also, when using interop mode, it is the
only allowable zoning method.
Required Static
Edge LUN Mapping The Automatic DataPath Mapping function of the Edge will
automatically discover and map host LUNs on a first learned basis. It
will fill the host LUN map from the lowest to the highest order. Static
Edge LUN mapping should be used when a specific order is desired
in the host LUN table.
When using static LUN mapping to configure a remote target LUN,
the automatic LUN discovery function is disabled for that target. This
allows a method for “zoning” remote LUNs available through this
pair of Edges.
A configurable number of LUNs (default is 8) will be attempted to be
discovered for each discovered remote target. This is configured in
the Discover LUN Count field on page -35 and page -40. If the
remote target LUN is out of this range, this LUN will need to be
statically mapped.
