Supported routing configurations

Routing requires additional configuration rules for fabrics. For details about routing configuration
rules, see "Fibre Channel routing, 400 MP Router, and MP Router Blade fabric
"MP Router fabric
"C-series Fibre Channel and FCoE switches and fabric
"H-series switches and fabric
The typical configuration is a router or 8 Gb/s switch with integrated Fibre Channel routing connected
to two or more fabrics, as shown in
Channel routing is required for fabrics that include B-series switches.

Routing and core-edge fabrics

This section describes how to connect core switches when using routing to the following:
MP Router for B-series Fibre Channel routing
B-series Virtual Fabrics with IFR
C-series VSANs with IVR
