Backbone-to-edge device sharing
(using VEX_Port over FCIP)
An FCR setup with backbone and edge fabrics encompasses the following cases:
The backbone fabric and all edge fabrics are discovered.
Only the backbone fabric is discovered.
Only some or all of the edge fabrics are discovered.
Consider two Routers R1 and R2 connected to each other by FCIP connection as VE-VEX. Here R1
acts as an Edge Fabric and R2 as a Backbone Fabric.
Figure 41
shows the data model for
backbone-to-edge device sharing for VEX over FCIP.
