Configuring TL Ports

To configure the TL interface mode using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

Each private device on a TL port may be included in a different zone.
All devices on the loop are treated as private loops. You cannot mix private and public devices on
the loop if the configured port mode is TL.
The only FC4-type supported by TL ports is SCSI (FCP).
Communication between a private initiator to a private target on the same private loop does not
invoke TL port services.
