McDATA ULTRANETTM EDGE STORAGE ROUTER 3000 Manual Do Utilizador

 

Figure 2-1 illustrates how two UltraNet Edge 3000 units configured 
for E_port extension can be used to interconnect Fibre Channel SANs 
using a new or existing Ethernet or ATM WAN. 

The UltraNet Edge 3000 can also be configured for F_port which 
eliminates the requirement for an external Fibre 

Channel

 switch.

1x1 and 2x2 configurations are standard Ethernet configurations for 
the UltraNet Edge 3000. The UltraNet Edge 3000 can also be 
configured in a

 

1x2, 2x1 and 3x1 configurations, but they are not 

supported as standard implementations.

The 1x1 configuration consists of:

•

One Fibre Channel interface extended over one 10/100 Ethernet 
or one Gigabit Ethernet WAN

The 2x2 configuration consists of:

•

Two Fibre Channel interfaces extended over either two 10/100 
Ethernet or two Gigabit Ethernet WAN

•

Mixed application mode of one FCXL2 and one FCBB Fibre 
Channel card is supported for Gigabit Ethernet WAN only

The UltraNet Edge 3000 to IP connectivity is supported through 
either a 10/100 Ethernet or a Gigabit Ethernet interface, each with 
compression.
