1606 Extension SAN Switch configuration examples
When connecting fabrics through IP, the 1606 Extension SAN Switch serves as an FCIP gateway
with Fibre Channel routing. 1606 Extension SAN Switches that communicate over FCIP links can be
installed in multiple pairs for high availability (Figure 105) or as a single pair (Figure 106).
