FC-FC routing service overview
The FC-FC routing service provides Fibre Channel routing (FCR) between two or more fabrics
without merging those fabrics. A Fibre Channel router (FC router) is a switch running the FC-FC
routing service. The FC-FC routing service can be simultaneously used as an FC router and as a
SAN extension over wide area networks (WANs) using FCIP. FCR supports backbone-to-edge
routing, allowing devices in the backbone to communicate with devices on the edge fabric.

For example, using FCR you can share tape drives across multiple fabrics without the
administrative problems, such as change management, network management, scalability,
reliability, availability, and serviceability, that might result from merging the fabrics.

You can set up QoS traffic prioritization over FC routers. See

router.

FCR supports interoperability with some versions of M-EOS. For more information about M-EOS
