In Figure
port 1 to target port 1 is defined in a CryptoTarget container on one encryption switch, and the path
from host port 2 to target port 2 is defined in a CryptoTarget container on the other encryption
switch. This forms a DEK cluster between encryption switches for both target paths. The DEK
cluster handles the target/host path failover along with the failure of either encryption switch.

cluster LAN. The Ge1 and Ge0 gigabit Ethernet ports on each of these switches are attached to this
LAN. encryption switches 1 and 3 act as a high availability cluster in fabric 1, providing automatic
