Proxy mode-1
•
Proxy mode-1 assigns Cisco-specific WWNs to the virtual initiators (VIs) and digital virtual targets
(DVTs). The benefit of this mode is that it eliminates the requirement of transparent mode that a host
initiator or a target be connected directly to an SSM. In proxy mode-1, the SSM can be anywhere in
the SAN. However, this mode requires reconfiguration of legacy applications. See Figure 40-3.
