VSAN A1 FC Switch (IVR) VSAN A2 VSAN B1 IVR SAN A FC Switch (IVR) VSAN B2 IVR SAN B Figure 26 Dual-redundant VSAN . 25107b Supported routing configurations Routing requires additional configuration rules for fabrics. For details about routing configuration rules, see "Fibre Channel routing, 400 MP Router, and MP Router Blade fabric rules" on page 116, "MP Router fabric rules" on page 121, "C-series Fibre Channel and FCoE switches and fabric rules" on page 135, and "H-series switches and fabric rules" on page 83. The typical configuration is a router or 8 Gb/s switch with integrated Fibre Channel routing connected to two or more fabrics, as shown in Figure 27. An MP Router or 8 Gb/s switch with integrated Fibre Channel routing is required for fabrics that include B-series switches. Routing and core-edge fabrics This section describes how to connect core switches when using routing to the following: • MP Router for B-series Fibre Channel routing (Figure 27) • B-series Virtual Fabrics with IFR (Figure 28) • C-series VSANs with IVR (Figure 29) 1606 Extension SAN Switch, 400 MPR, or MPR (FC Routing) 25108c Figure 27 1606 Extension SAN Switch or MP Router connecting core switches .
