Storage Router Overview
The storage router provides universal access to storage over IP networks. Storage
router software controls the operation of the IP Storage Router 2122-2. The
software is configured to provide the following types of access to storage over IP

■
FCIP only
■
SCSI routing and FCIP
SCSI routing provides IP hosts with access to Fibre Channel (FC) storage devices,
using iSCSI protocol.
Note:
The iSCSI protocol is an IETF-defined protocol for IP storage (ips). For more
information about the iSCSI protocol, refer to the IETF standards for IP storage at
http://www.ietf.org
.
With SCSI routing, storage device access is managed primarily in the storage
router.

Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) enables SR2122-2 storage routers to provide
connectivity by tunneling through an IP network between storage area networks
(SANs).
