Deployment in Fibre Channel routed fabrics
In this deployment, the encryption switch may be connected as part of the backbone fabric to
another switch or blade that provides the EX_port connections (Figure 126), or it may form the
backbone fabric and directly provide the EX_port connections (Figure 127). The encryption
resources can be shared with the host and target edge fabrics using device sharing between
backbone and edge fabrics.
