No, it is a good question. SAN switches are needed (or more efficient in connections) with more complex configurations. Since most configurations are that complex that SAN switches are useful, one only talks about these configurations. So the simple configurations where you connect one device to

#1. I would check your SMFPRMxx member, look for anything like, TYPE(119(1:7)) or NOTYPE(119(70:72)) Those would allow your 1-7 records, but deny the 70-72. If your SMFPRMxx does not allow for the subtypes to be recorded, then all of the following is moot. #2. In the TCPPROF member or what you
