40SAN Multiprotocol Routing: An Introduction and Implementation
3.1 FC-FC routing
This section describes the FC-FC routing functionality and possible scenarios
where the functionality can be used.
3.1.1 Local FC-FC routing
Figure 3-1 shows the local FC-FC routing solution between two storage area
network (SAN) fabrics.
Figure 3-1 Local FC-FC routing between two SAN fabrics
This solution has two redundant SAN routers connected to two SAN fabrics. Both
