Translate phantom domains

—Assigned to each remote fabric connected to a 400 MP Router or

MP Router Blade. Each fabric has one unique translate domain, regardless of how many EX_Ports
are connected to the fabric.

•

Backbone fabric

—The 400 MP Router or MP Router Blade backbone fabric consists of at least

one 400 MP Router or MP Router Blade and includes all MP Routers and B-series switches connected
via E_Port to the 400 MP Router or MP Router Blades. When you install an MP Router Blade in a
4/256 SAN Director, all devices connected to the SAN Director Fibre Channel ports are part of
the backbone fabric.

•

Edge fabric

—A fabric that is attached to an EX_Port on a 400 MP Router or MP Router Blade.
