Switch Admin Window About the Extended Fabric Tab Use the Extended Fabric tab to manage the Extended Fabric feature. From the Extended Fabric tab you can specify which ports to be configured for distance and at what level. All switches come with L0 and LE (extended normal) settings. An Extended Fabric license allows additional settings of L1 and L2. For ports that are disabled, the rows appear grayed-out in the table within the Extended Fabric tab. For more detailed information regarding the Extended Fabric feature, see the HP StorageWorks Extended Fabric Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide.
