12.5.5 FCIP high availability
The following high availability solutions are available for FCIP configurations:
Fibre Channel PortChannels
Figure 12-39 shows an example of a PortChannel-based load balancing
configuration. To perform this configuration, you need two IP addresses on
each SAN island. This solution addresses link failures.
Figure 12-39 PortChannel-based load balancing
The following characteristics set Fibre Channel PortChannel solutions apart
from other solutions:
– The entire bundle is one logical (E)ISL link.
– All FCIP links in the PortChannel should be across the same ...
