Optimizing Connection Distribution on Cisco MDS 9148T FC Switches

When connecting multiple-path target or initiator devices to a Cisco MDS 9148T FC 48-port switch with 3 forwarding engines, there is uncertainty about whether to concentrate device uplinks on ports located on the same Forwarding Engine or distribute them across multiple forwarding engines. This configuration dilemma affects performance and reliability. The impact of using Port Channel versus individual connections on this decision is also unclear.
