Routing through an IP network
When connecting fabrics through IP, 1606 Extension SAN Switches or DC Dir Switch MP Extension
Blades, MP Routers or Blades serve as FCIP gateways with Fibre Channel routing. Routers that
communicate with the FCIP protocol must be installed in pairs (
Figure 30 and Figure 31 ).
HP supports FCIP configurations in which 1606 Extension SAN Switches or DC Dir Switch MP Extension
Blades, 400 MP Router or MP Router Blade serve as an FCIP gateway and a Fibre Channel switch.
Servers and storage systems that support Continuous Access with FCIP can be directly connected to
the Fibre Channel ports on the 1606 Extension SAN Switches or DC Dir Switch MP Extension Blades
(
Figure 30 ), 400 MP Router or MP Router Blade ( Figure 39 ).

VSANs can be connected through IP using the FCIP functionality of the C-series Fibre Channel switches
(see “
C-series Fibre Channel switches ” on page 135).
