two FCIP tunnels
Each FCIP link is a separate (E)ISL.
The FCIP links can connect to different switches across two SAN islands.
The Fibre Channel traffic is load balanced across the FCIP link.

IP interfaces are in VRRP group
If the active VRRP port fails, the standby VRRP port takes over the VRRP IP address.
When the VRRP switchover happens, the FCIP link automatically disconnects and reconnects.
This configuration has only one FCIP (E)ISL link.
