Configuring an F_Port 
Extension over an 
Ethernet WAN
This chapter contains the procedures for configuring your UltraNet 
Edge 3000 for F_port over an Ethernet WAN using McDATA’s 
UltraNet ConfigManager configuration tool.
The UltraNet Edge 3000 contains an internal Fibre Channel Switch 
(FCSW) application which eliminates the need for an external Fibre 
Channel switch when configured as F_port. See Chapter 2, Hardware 
Configurations
, for more information about valid configurations for 
the UltraNet Edge 3000.
Prior to configuring the UltraNet Edge 3000, you should be familiar 
with Fibre Channel, 10/100 Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet 
networking principles. You will need to gather the IP addresses for 
your UltraNet Edge 3000 to configure an Ethernet WAN. See the 
UltraNet Edge Storage Router Configuration IP Address Worksheet in 
Appendix J.
