Figure 108 (page 284) shows a configuration using the MPX200 with FCIP 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 MPX200 FCIP
configurations using B-series Fibre Channel switches with Integrated Routing or B-series routers
configured for Fibre Channel routing.
