Usage guidelines
An FCF switch provides the following types of ports:
• F_Port—Connects to an N_Port or an NP_Port on another FC switch.
• E_Port—Connects to an E_Port on another FC switch.
• NP_Port—Connects to an F_Port on another FC switch.
E_Ports connect FCF switches to form a fabric, and F_Ports connect the nodes to FCF switches in the
fabric.
VFC interfaces support three modes: E, F (default), and NP.
• When an FCF switch is operating in FCF mode, VFC interfaces support E and F modes.
• When an FCF switch is operating in NPV mode, VFC interfaces support F and NP modes.
