4.3.1.2 Fibre Channel hardware configuration
You can install the Fibre Channel switch blades in fabric 2 or fabric 3. They
can be operated in two different modes:
l
in normal switch mode
l
in Access Gateway mode
As a result, different combination options are possible. Fabric 2 and fabric 3
have identical configuration restrictions in relation to the Fibre Channel
switch blades. The following table shows you which configurations are sup-
ported in fabric 2 and fabric 3:
Bay 3 (Bay 5) Bay 4 (Bay 6)
Access Gateway mode Access Gateway mode (optional
1
)
Standard switch mode Standard switch mode (optional
1
)
1
Even though this constellation is possible, it does not make sense because
only the first port can be used from the Fibre Channel switch blade in bay 3 or
5.

Blade manual for BX900.
