Gateway configuration examples ” on page 300. Figure 104 shows an FCIP configuration using an
MPX200 at the local site and an IP Distance Gateway at the remote site.
Figure 100 shows a basic FCIP configuration with a local single-blade MPX200 chassis and a remote
single-blade MPX200 chassis connected through an IP WAN using one or two long-distance links.

Figure 100 MPX200 basic FCIP configuration with one or two long-distance links
.
Figure 101 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 a Fibre Channel switch with Integrated Routing or a B-series router configured for Fibre Channel
routing.
