HP StorageWorks 4000/6000/8000 - Enterprise Virtual Arrays - IP Distance Gateway Basic FCIP Configuration with Single-Path Connectivity; IP Distance Gateway FCIP with B-Series Integrated Routing

Figure 91 shows single-path connectivity for the servers and storage. This is the lowest-cost
implementation with no redundancy.

.
Figure 92 shows a configuration using the IP Distance Gateway and B-series switches with Integrated
Routing. This provides fabric isolation between the local and remote fabrics, allowing device access
without merging the fabrics. This can be implemented in all supported IP Distance Gateway
configurations using a Fibre Channel switch with Integrated Routing or a B-series router configured
for Fibre Channel routing.
