Figure 109 (page 285) shows a configuration using the MPX200 with FCIP and C-series switches
with IVR. 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 C-series Fibre Channel switches with IVR.

Figure 110 (page 285) shows a high-availability configuration using a dual-blade MPX200 chassis
at the local site and the remote site for hardware and path redundancy.
