4.7.1 Changing the Topology
NOTE: Only point-to-point and FC-AL topologies are supported on the LPe31000-series, LPe32000-series, and
LPe35000-series adapters.
By default, the LPe12000-series and LPe16000-series adapters use auto topology with loop first. If you want to use a
topology other than the default, you must change the topology setting before configuring boot devices. For FC-AL, each
adapter has a default AL_PA of 01 (hexadecimal).
The topology options available in LPe12000-series adapters is shown in Figure 22.
On LPe12000-series adapters, you can configure the following topologies:
 Auto topology with loop first – default
 Auto topology with point-to-point first
 FC-AL
 Fabric point-to-point
NOTE: Direct-attach point-to-point is not supported on LPe12000-series adapters.
On LPe16000-series adapters, you can configure the following topologies:
 Auto topology with loop first – default
 Auto topology with point-to-point first
 FC-AL
 Point-to-point
