Ports Configured to Run FCIP
Ports configured for FCIP operation can be configured to support up to three virtual ISL connections (FCIP tunnels). An FCIP link transports Fibre Channel traffic transparently over IP between two FCIP capable switches. Each link acts as a virtual Fibre Channel ISL with either an E port or a TE port at each end.
Ports Configured to Run iSCSI
Ports configured for iSCSI operation allow IP attached initiators access to FC attached targets with the IPS modules. The module terminates iSCSI commands from the hosts and initiates new Fibre Channel commands to the targets, and performs the translation between IP and Fibre Channel domains.
