The MPX200 FCIP feature can be configured as a standalone function or for use simultaneously with
iSCSI. A license is required to enable the FCIP feature. All licenses are half-chassis based, enabling
FCIP to be configured on one or both bays (slots) in a dual-blade chassis configuration.
The following licenses are available for FCIP:
• HP Storage Works MPX200 Half Chassis FCIP License—Includes the license to enable FCIP func-
tionality in one of two bays (slots) in an MPX200 Chassis
• HP Storage Works MPX200 Full Chassis FCIP License—Includes the license to enable FCIP function-
ality for both bays (slots) in an MPX200 Chassis.
IMPORTANT:
If you install a single blade and a half-chassis license initially, and then install a second blade, a
second half-chassis license is required.

MPX200 Multifunction Router FCIP configuration examples
The MPX200 Multifunction Router supports iSCSI, data migration, and FCIP. The base functionality
is iSCSI, with the option to add either data migration or FCIP (one other license-enabled function) for
standalone or concurrent operation, data migration or FCIP. All FCIP configurations shown are
supported with FCIP only or with simultaneous FCIP and iSCSI operations. For information about iSCSI
configurations, see “MPX200 Multifunction Router with iSCSI” on page 360. For information about
data migration, see “MPX200 Multifunction Router with offline data migration” on page 253.
NOTE:
The MPX200 does not support simultaneous FCIP and data migration operation.
The MPX200 Multifunction Router supports the FCIP configurations shown in Figure 100, Figure 103,
and Figure 104, in addition to all configurations shown for the IP Distance Gateway. See “IP Distance
