Could you point us at the relevent documentation that describes this? I've been searching NOW and haven't come up with it yet.

Thanks!

I haven't received an explanation for it and honestly thought it sounded reasonable. It may work under another config, but I would think for the vast majority of configs, it shouldn't be a problem, especially that if you use the dual fiber cards, you get a fiber link for the first hop anyway.

If at all possible, I would wire it up that way just to stay within the known good configs.

It is suggested if you are hooking up a dual path loop that the B loop start at the opposite end of the loop as the A loop. In other words, the B loop starts on the last shelf on the A loop and works it's way back.

Why is that loop configuration suggested?
