Cascading Cascading of switches is supported for up to 7 hops where a hop is defined as a connection from one switch to another. Connections should be made such that traffic from an NL_Port will not transverse more than the number of currently supported hops when traveling through the cascaded switches. Cascading switches sequentially assign domain addresses to the switches prior to connecting them to other switches in a SAN. When connecting a powered down switch to a SAN that is running, the SAN will automatically assign a domain number to the new switch upon power up. If connecting a SAN with duplicate domain numbers to a switch, the switch will not join the SAN. Therefore, it is best to manually assign a domain number, when adding a new switch to a SAN.

SAN switch 2/32 Version 4.0.2b Release Notes
QuickLoop
QuickLoop, in either its original hub emulation mode or in Fabric Assist mode, is
not supported on the SAN Switch 2/32. This means that direct attachment of
private hosts to the SAN Switch 2/32 is not supported.
MIB Files
MIB files are used for SNMP applications such as HP OpenView and HP Insight
Manager. The SAN Switch 2/32 supports the following MIB files:
v4_0FA.mib (supports Fibre Alliance MIB v3.0)
v4_0FE.mib (v4_0FE.mib is same as festd.smiv2 in v3.0 and refers to RFC
2837)
v4_0SW.mib (Fibre Channel Switch MIB v4.0)
v4_0TRP.mib (Fibre Channel Switch Trap MIB v4.0)
For more information, refer to the
hp StorageWorks mib reference version 3.0/4.0,
available from the HP website at:
.pdf
Note:
Verify that SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB and RFC1155-SMI are loaded before
loading v4_0FE.mib.
Cascading
Cascading of switches is supported for up to 7 hops where a hop is defined as a
connection from one switch to another. Connections should be made such that
traffic from an NL_Port will not transverse more than the number of currently
supported hops when traveling through the cascaded switches.
Cascading switches sequentially assign domain addresses to the switches prior to
connecting them to other switches in a SAN. When connecting a powered down
switch to a SAN that is running, the SAN will automatically assign a domain
number to the new switch upon power up. If connecting a SAN with duplicate
domain numbers to a switch, the switch will not join the SAN. Therefore, it is best
to manually assign a domain number, when adding a new switch to a SAN.
