Abstract
According to an example, after a primary port of a primary switch and a secondary port of a secondary switch are connected to each other and the primary port is configured to operate in a fabric mode, the primary switch may send a mode switch request packet to the secondary switch through the primary port. The secondary switch may change the secondary port from operating in an Ethernet mode to the fabric mode based on information contained in the mode switch request packet and may send a mode switch response packet to the primary switch.
