Fabric Elements—Each fabric element is defined by a unique domain ID that
ranges between 1 and 31; therefore, the theoretical limit of interconnected
directors in a single fabric is 31. The supported limit of interconnected
switches in a single fabric is 24. Because this number is subject to change,
contact your HP authorized service representative for the current number of
interconnected switches supported in a single fabric.
Inhomogeneous fabric—To determine if interoperability is supported for a
product, or if restrictions apply, refer to the product publications, or contact
your HP authorized service representative.
Number of Interswitch Links (ISLs)—Theoretically, the ISL limit per
Director 2/64 is 32 and for Director 2/140 is 70. The maximum supported
number of ISLs per director is half of the director ports. For redundancy, at
