40 SAN Switch (Brocade 5100) 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 6.2.0g release notes (5697-0035, - Page 11
problems may arise when configuring settings through these older products. NOTE: Do not configure zoning through a switch operating with Fabric OS 3.x in a fabric that has products operating with newer versions of Fabric OS.
