FC-FC Routing and Virtual Fabrics

FIGURE 76

EX_Ports in a base switch

 shows a logical representation of the physical chassis and devices in 

. As 

shown in 

, Fabric 128 and Fabric 15 are edge fabrics connected to a backbone fabric. 

Fabric 1 is not connected to the backbone, so the device in Fabric 1 cannot communicate with any 
of the devices in the other fabrics.

Backbone-to-edge routing with Virtual Fabrics

Since the base switch does not allow F_Ports, you cannot have devices connected to the base 
switch.
