FIGURE 3 Port usage comparison

You can convert a Fibre Channel port into a D_Port on AG switch and a connected fabric switch,

another AG switch (cascaded configuration), or an HBA to test the link between the ports. When you

configure the ports on each end of the link as D_Ports, diagnostic tests automatically initiate on the link

when the D_Ports go online. Results can be viewed using Fabric OS commands, such as

portDPortTest, during or after testing. Once in D_Port mode, the port does not participate in fabric

operations, login to a remote device, or run data traffic.
