Correct Cabling Example For A Long-Wave Hub; Cascaded Short-Wave Hub Configuration - HP L10 User Manual

In a cascaded configuration of model S10 short-wave hubs, connect any port on the first
hub to any port on the second hub. Figure 13 includes all 18 nodes in the loop formed by
FC-AL Device 1, Hub A, Hub B, and FC-AL Device 2:
– Port 1 on Hub A connects to FC-AL Device 1.
– Port 10 of Hub A connects to Port 1 of Hub B.
– Port 10 on Hub B connects to FC-AL Device 2.
In this configuration, any unused port on Hub A or Hub B can connect to any compatible
FC-AL device. This is just one example of cascaded short-wave hubs. The connection
between short-wave hubs can occupy any combination of ports.

If you plan to use Fibre Channel Manager to manage cascaded hubs, you must
Note
configure the hub that has the LAN (ethernet) connection as a parent hub and
the remaining hub as a child hub (see Configuring Cascaded Hubs on page 60).

Correct Cabling Example for a Long-Wave Hub

Hewlett-Packard recommends 9-micron, single-mode fiber cable for the long-wave port.
For ports 1 through 9, the short-wave ports, Hewlett-Packard recommends 50-micron
multimode fiber cable for new installations but also supports 62.5-micron multimode fiber
cable with SC-style connectors in existing installations.
