400 MP Router and MP Router Blade configuration examples

When connecting fabrics through IP, the 400 MP Router or MP Router Blade serve as FCIP gateways

with Fibre Channel routing. Routers that communicate over FCIP links can be installed in multiple

pairs for high availability (Figure 115) or as a single pair (Figure 116).

NOTE: Single-pair configurations require 400 MP Router or MP Router Blade firmware 6.1.0a

(or later).
