Eclipse™ 2640 SAN Router Administration and Configuration Manual

Configuring R_Ports for mSANs

The following procedure describes how to configure an Fibre
Channel port as an R_Port to attach Fibre Channel devices and
mSANs.

1. Perform steps 1 through 7 under

Configuring the FC Ports for

Router-Attached Devices

on page 3-4.

2. In the

FC/Ethernet Port Configuration

dialog box, select R_Port in

the

FC Port Parameters

section with the

Port type

The configured

R_Port parameters appear in the dialog box.
