Mixed Mode Overview
When the SR2122-2 is deployed for SCSI routing you can optionally configure
one of the internal FC initiator interfaces for FCIP. When it is deployed for FCIP,
one of the internal FC initiator interfaces can be configured for SCSI routing. This
mixed mode deployment allows the storage router to provide IP hosts with access
to the FC storage via one initiator interface and FCIP connectivity for FC hosts
and FC storage devices via the other initiator interface.

When the storage router is deployed for mixed mode, all of the features and
functionality of the primary deployment mode (SCSI routing or FCIP), and the
additional mode, are available.
