TL_Ports
The set of off-loop devices proxied by a TL_Port is contained in its translation
entries list.
The translation entries list for a TL_Port connected to Private initiators will
contain the targets (both Public and Private) that you want the Private initiator to
communicate with. Auto Learning is not able to enter these targets into the transla-
tion entry list. Switch management allows you to manage the translation entries list
for these TL_Ports. You may disable Auto Learning for these TL_Ports connected
to initiators or targets. Use the Port Display/TL Configuration window in
SANsurfer to manage the translation entries list for each TL_Port.
The translation entries list for a TL_Port connected to Private targets will contain
the initiators (both Public and Private) that try to communicate with those targets.
An Auto Learning feature automatically adds these initiators to the ports’ transla-
tion entries list. Use Zoning to limit the number of initiators to 31 or less. You may
disable Auto Learning for any TL_Port via Switch management. The default for
each TL_Port is Auto Learning enabled. Refer to the Switch Management manual
for information about managing the translation entries list for each TL_Port.
T_Ports
T_Ports interconnect chassis in a multi-chassis topology. Any port connected to
another Switch chassis automatically becomes a T_Port (no configuration is neces-
sary). Refer to
Section 5 Multi-Chassis Fabrics
for more information.
