When you attach FICON products to switches or directors, you cannot use cascade

switches. You cannot configure a fabric of multiple interconnected directors and

have a FICON channel attached to one director communicate to a FICON control

unit that is attached to another director. The FICON architecture prohibits this

capability. The reason for the restriction is because the base S/390 and zSeries I/O

architecture uses a single byte for addressing the I/O devices. This one-byte I/O

address is not compatible with the fibre-channel, 3-byte port address. The FICON

solution to this problem is to disallow switch cascading.
