TL Ports for Private Loops Chapter 20 Configuring Interfaces Send documentation comments to [email protected] • Each private device on a TL port may be included in a different zone. • All devices on the loop are treated as private loops. You cannot mix private and public devices on the loop if the configured port mode is TL. • The only FC4-type supported by TL ports is SCSI (FCP). • Communication between a private initiator to a private target on the same private loop does not invoke TL port services. Table 20-6 lists the TL port translations supported in Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches. Figure 20-12 shows examples of TL port translation support.
