Planning Considerations for Fibre Channel Topologies Figure 22: Switched mode operation Public Versus Private Devices Arbitrated loop switches support connection of public and private arbitrated loop devices as follows: ■ Public device - A loop device that can transmit a fabric login (FLOGI) command to the switch, receive acknowledgement from the switch's login server, register with the switch's name server, and communicate with fabric-attached devices is a public device. Public devices communicate with fabric-attached devices through the switch's B_Port connection to a director. As shown in Figure 23, server S2 is a public loop device that can communicate with fabric-attached device D1. The switch mode (shared or switched) does not affect device communication. 62 SAN High Availability Planning Guide
