Figure 98 (page 275) shows single-path connectivity for the servers and storage. This is the lowest-cost
implementation with no redundancy.

Figure 99 (page 276) shows a configuration using the IP Distance Gateway and B-series switches
with Integrated Routing. This provides fabric isolation between the local and remote fabrics, allowing
device access without merging the fabrics. This can be implemented in all supported IP Distance
Gateway configurations using B-series Fibre Channel switches with Integrated Routing or B-series
routers configured for Fibre Channel routing.
