Network Configuration Examples
Note: McDATA prefers World Wide Name (WWN) zoning over port zoning. It allows the zoning to continue working when cables are moved from port to port during switch troubleshooting. Also, when using interop mode, it is the only allowable zoning method.

Required Static | The Automatic DataPath Mapping function of the Edge will |
|
Edge LUN Mapping | automatically discover and map host LUNs on a first learned basis. It |
|
| will fill the host LUN map from the lowest to the highest order. Static |
|
| Edge LUN mapping should be used when a specific order is desired |
|
| in the host LUN table. |
|
| When using static LUN mapping to configure a remote target LUN, |
|
| the automatic LUN discovery function is disabled for that target. This |
|
| allows a method for “zoning” remote LUNs available through this |
|
| pair of Edges. |
|
| A configurable number of LUNs (default is 8) will be attempted to be |
|
| discovered for each discovered remote target. This is configured in |
|
| the Discover LUN Count field on page |
|
| remote target LUN is out of this range, this LUN will need to be |
|
| statically mapped. |
