Configuration rules
The section describes the configuration rules for using the MPX200 for FCIP.
General configuration rules
Observe the following general configuration rules:
• All MPX200 configurations require a minimum of two gateways. These can be two MPX200s or
one MPX200 and one IP Distance Gateway (mpx110), one local and one remote, connected
through an IP network. HP does not support FCIP connectivity between other gateway models.
• FCIP is supported on GbE ports only (GE1 and GE2).
• The MPX200 is supported using FCIP extension with Continuous Access EVA (see “EVA storage
system rules” on page 308).
