Device Addressing
The two modes of addressing used in Fibre Channel, included on page A-7, are hard and soft addressing. In small, controlled environments, hard addressing works well. Also, some operating systems and host bus adapters do not support soft addressing. Large Fabric networks, connecting many devices, require the flexibility of soft addressing; hard addressing is...
