Chapter 2

Fibre Channel-to-SCSI Mode

This section describes the configuration of the bridge when acting as a target

to a Fibre Channel initiator passing Fibre Channel protocol (FCP) requests

through to SCSI target devices.

By default, the bridge is in this mode. The bridge uses hard addressing on the

Fibre Channel loop and auto addressing for target device mapping. Auto

addressing is described in more detail under Auto Addressing on page 42.

The bridge automatically detects if it is connected to a FC loop or a switch and

will use the appropriate protocol without further configuration.
