1Even though this constellation is possible, it does not make sense because only the first port can be used from the IBP module in bay 1, 3, 5 or 7.
Operation in Open Fabric mode
Open Fabric mode refers to the use of
Therefore, if you do not want to use any routing, all combinations are possible even with
•You cannot mix LAN and IBP modules within a fabric.
•You can only assign profiles if no networks are defined for their ports.
You can force the assignment of a profile with network def- initions by selecting the Ignore ext. LAN connections option in the profile selection dialog box or by answering the sub- sequent query accordingly. In doing so, however, the network definitions are ignored.
•You can operate LAN models of different sizes within a fabric, although you cannot use all download links from the larger model.
