IP Distance Gateway configuration examples
The IP Distance Gateway supports the configurations shown in Figure 95 (page 274) through
Figure 105 (page 280).
Figure 95 (page 274) shows a basic FCIP configuration with a local mpx110 and a remote mpx110
connected through an IP WAN using one or two long-distance links.
