Planning Considerations for Fibre Channel Topologies
3-43
Planning Considerations for Fibre Channel Topologies
• The Domain_ID and physical port number of the director or
fabric switch port to which a device is attached.
FICON configuration attributes are implemented through logical
port addressing. This concept is consistent with the address-centric
nature of FICON and allows ports to be swapped for maintenance
operations without regenerating a host configuration. For McDATA
products, logical port addresses are derived by converting the port
number from numerical to hexadecimal format and adding a
hexadecimal four to the result. Figure 3-17 illustrates port numbering
and logical port addressing for Intrepid 6140 Director ports accessed
from the front.
Figure 3-17 Intrepid 6140 Port Numbers and Logical Port Addresses (Front)
The figure shows:
• CTP card positions (0 and 1).
• Universal port module (UPM) card numbers at the top and
bottom (numerical 0 through 31).
• Numerical physical port numbers in blue (00 through 127).
• Hexadecimal physical port numbers in red (00 through 7F).
• Logical port addresses in bold (hexadecimal 04 through 83).
