24 SAN Switch (Brocade 300) IMPORTANT: Although the HP StorageWorks 4/8 SAN Switch uses the same hardware as the 4/16 SAN Switch, it does not support Access Gateway. The same applies to the HP StorageWorks 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switches: both use the same hardware, but only the 8/24, which has all ports - HP StorageWorks 8/8 | HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.1.1d release notes (5697-7962, - Page 9
