Chapter 10. Cisco routing real-life
solutions
The case studies in this chapter are intended to show real-life situations. They
also show the pragmatic solutions that have been developed around them using
the Cisco MDS multiprotocol technology.
We present two case studies here. The first one implements inter-virtual storage
area network (VSAN) routing (IVR), Fibre Channel (FC) over IP (FCIP) tunneling
over a campus IP backbone, and Small Computer System Interface over IP
(iSCSI). The second one implements IVR and asynchronous disk mirroring
through FCIP tunneling over a long-distance IP netw
