Important Considerations
■
Port types can be A, B, M, or S.
■
The system FDDI ports are type A or type B for Dual Attachment
Station (DAS) ports and type M for Single Attachment Station (SAS)
ports.
■
By default, all connections to the system ports are valid. M-M
connections are accepted so that one CoreBuilder
®
3500 port can be
connected to another system port.
