Backbone-to-edge device sharing
(using VEX_Port over FCIP)
An FCR setup with backbone and edge fabrics encompasses the following cases:
•
The backbone fabric and all edge fabrics are discovered.
•
Only the backbone fabric is discovered.
•
Only some or all of the edge fabrics are discovered.
Consider two Routers R1 and R2 connected to each other by FCIP connection as VE-VEX. Here R1
acts as an Edge Fabric and R2 as a Backbone Fabric.
Figure 41
shows the data model for
backbone-to-edge device sharing for VEX over FCIP.
