F_Port Extension
The FCIP configuration used to connect a distant F_Port to a SAN is referred to
as an
F_Port extension
. This configuration is used to connect remote (stranded)
servers to a SAN or to connect remote storage to a SAN. In the F_Port extension
configuration, one of the FCIP routers (local) is connected to a Fibre Channel
switch (SAN), and the other FCIP router (remote) is directly connected to a Fibre
Channel port on the server or storage.
shows an example of F_Port extension used to connect a remote
storage array.
