Configuring iSCSI

Ethernet PortChannels and Fibre Channel PortChannels

Ethernet PortChannels offer Ethernet-level redundancy, Fibre Channel PortChannels offer (E)ISL-level
redundancy. FCIP is unaware of any Ethernet PortChannels or Fibre Channel PortChannels. Fibre
Channel PortChannels are unaware of any Ethernet PortChannels, and there is no mapping between the
two.
