Configuring a Backup iFCP Connection
Configuring a Backup iFCP Connection
You can configure redundant fail-over for the iFCP connection so that
one iFCP port backs up another iFCP port on the same SAN Router.
Redundant ports must be configured symmetrically; for example,
each port must back up the other. A port can have both primary and
backup connections, such as pair of ports having connections to a
remote SAN, exporting different zones to split the load. If either port
fails, the remaining port takes over the entire load.
To configure a backup for the SAN Router ports, follow these
instructions:
1. Select Configuration>iFCP>Port Redundancy to display the iFCP
Port Redundancy Configuration dialog box (
Figure 4-9).

2. Select the tab for each port you wish to configure.
3. To enable backup operation, select the Enable box. To disable
backup operation, clear this box.
4. Select the port that you want to backup for the port being
configured.
