Nspof Configuration With 1606 Extension San Switch Providing Fibre Channel Routing And Fcip With Direct Connect Devices; Nspof Configuration With 400 Mp Router Providing Fibre Channel Routing And Fcip; And Fcip - HP StorageWorks 4000/6000/8000 - Enterprise Virtual Arrays Reference Manual

In nonrouted FCIP configurations, local and remote fabrics merge when connected through an IP
network. The IP connection acts as an ISL in a single fabric. By using Fibre Channel routing and FCIP,
the local and remote fabrics connect without merging. You can create an LSAN that contains local
and remote storage arrays and servers.

and FCIP.

Figure 38 and
