Fibre Channel Configurations

The bridge is supported in a basic configuration using the 10/180 and 20/

700 HP tape libraries and magneto-optical jukeboxes. A basic configuration is

comprised of only one bridge and a host. Expanded configurations may

include multiple bridges, switches and hosts, usually connected to one or more

networks.
