4.2.1.1 LAN hardware configuration
Using IBP Modules
The following LAN connection blades in IBP mode can be used in fabric 1
(connection bay 1) and fabric 2 (connection bay 2) for the first mezzanine
card:
Bay 1 (Bay2)
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/8+2 in IBP mode
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 36/12 in IBP mode
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 1Gb 18/6 in IBP mode
PY CB Eth Switch/IBP 10 Gb 18/8 in IBP mode
Fabric 3 has configuration restrictions in relation to the IBP modules. The fol-
lowing table shows you which configurations are supported in fabric 3.

Even though this constellation is possible, it does not make sense because
only the first port can be used from the IBP module in bay 3.
Operation in Open Fabric mode
Open Fabric mode refers to the use of non-VIOM-capable LAN modules
together with the Virtual-IO Manager. In this case, you can only work with vir-
tual I/O parameters, and not with dedicated network connections.
