B-series MP Router configuration examples

This section describes MP Router sample configurations.
Figure 111 shows how MP Routers are configured for FCIP and Fibre Channel routing.
Fabric 1

.
Note the following:
All MP Router FCIP configurations require a minimum level of IP bandwidth for XP Continuous
Access and Continuous Access EVA replication (see
Continuous Access EVA supports multiple links, but not those that are shared using dynamic load
balancing or exchange-based routing.
Figure 112 shows Fibre Channel fabrics connecting through two IP subnets. Each MP Router uses a
Fibre Channel interface to connect to the fabrics and a GbE interface to connect to the IP subnets.

.
In this sample configuration, MP Router 1 must have one GbE connection to IP subnet A and one GbE
connection to a IP subnet B. A Fibre Channel host or device connected to Fabric 1 can access devices
in Fabric 2 and/or Fabric 3.
