Extended distance support (director-to-director):
HP supports the following director-to-director long distance connections:
– Up to ten kilometers using longwave SFP interswitch link (ISL) connections.
– Up to 100 kilometers by setting a port's buffer-to-buffer credit (BB_Credit) value to
60 and using dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) equipment. HP
supports DWDM customer-supplied equipment.

communicate with each other.

The director supports a state change notification function that allows attached N_Ports
to request notification when other N_Ports change operational state.
