• Fibre Channel over SONET, page 296
• Fibre Channel over ATM, page 297
Fibre Channel over Internet Protocol
FCIP connects Fibre Channel fabrics over IP-based networks to form a unified SAN in a single fabric.
FCIP relies on IP-based network services to provide connectivity between fabrics over LANs, MANs,
or WANs.
This section describes the following topics:
• FCIP mechanisms, page 291
• FCIP link configurations, page 291
• FCIP network considerations, page 293
