Hi,

We have an NS20FC that I'm looking to implement in our environment. I see there are (4) Fibre Channel ports (0 Fibre, 1 Fibre, 4 Fibre, 5 Fibre) on each SP that I believe are to be used as Front-end ports.

Can all (8) ports be used to connect the NS20 to our SAN switches, or are any designated for direct host connectivity?

If all (8) can be used, I have another question. We have (4) fabrics, can one port be used from each SP to connect the box to each fabric?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Dave
