Chapter 1. Introducing the SAN06B-R The SAN06B-R is intended as a platform for Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP). This enables transmission of Fibre Channel data over long distances via IP networks by wrapping Fibre Channel frames in IP packets. Each end of the FCIP communication path must be a compatible FCIP device, either the SAN06B-R or the FX8-24 blade in a SAN384B or SAN768B chassis.
Before the installation of the upgrade license, ports beyond the basic four FC and two GbE are shown as Disabled with the switchShow command. v On the base SAN06B-R model, the two GbE ports (ge0 and ge1) can be configured for use with either copper or optical cables (physically separate ports provided).
Adaptive Rate Limiting (ARL). v Integrated Routing (IR)–allows any port in a SAN768B, SAN384B, SAN80B-4, SAN40B-4, and SAN06B-R to be configured as an (EX_port) supporting Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) v FICON Accelerator–designed to support secure data movement across the enterprise data centers v FICON CUP–designed to provide in-band management of the supported SAN...
