Some switch vendors require F port connectivity (for example, McData
ED5000).
As shown in the following table, fabric settings, topology settings, and
available link speed depend on the settings of the packages and protocols
used for the storage system connections, as well as whether host mode
option 51 is used.
Note: If you connect storage systems using iSCSI, host mode option settings
become invalid.
