Configuration Support
The SNC 5100 provides two Fibre Channel interfaces. The FC interfaces are
configured with Giga Bit Interface Converter (GBIC) modules.
In addition, the SNC 5100 has four Ultra2 SCSI interfaces. The Ultra2
interfaces are Low Voltage Differential (LVD).
See Figure 3.

Address Mapping
The SNC 5100 maps addresses across and between these different interfaces
and preserves the persistency of the address maps across power ups of systems,
devices, and the SNC 5100. The SNC 5100 supports the attachment of up to
2048 unique devices across multiple interfaces.
Interface Protocol Awareness
The SNC 5100 processes SCSI-3 and SCSI-2 protocols for disk, tape, and tape
medium changer devices. It can report the hosts and devices that are attached to
its interfaces. The SNC 5100 has the capability to manage the access security
between end points on the Fibre Channel interfaces and the SCSI channels.
