Creating Data Paths for Fibre Channel Switch Interfaces

Configuring a 2x2 Ethernet Wide Area Network

To view details about this circuit and its provider interfaces, double-click on the circuit connection in the network diagram.

Once you have completed the above steps for a 2x2 Gigabit Ethernet WAN configuration, your network map should look like the following example:

19.Repeat steps in the “Adding an IP Circuit” section to create the second IP circuit.

20.Continue the configuration process by following the “Creating Data Paths for Fibre Channel Switch Interfaces” section.

After configuring the IP circuit, you need to establish a connection between the Fibre Channel Switch interfaces by creating a data path.

The following example illustrates the creation of a data path for a 2x2 configuration, where each node has a 2-port Fibre Channel Switch interface. This example can also be used for creating a data path between two 1-port Fibre Channel Switch interfaces. The only difference in data path creation for 1-port and 2-port Fibre Channel Switch interfaces is in the way UltraNet ConfigManager numbers the Fibre Channel Switch interfaces.

For example, if you were creating a data path between two 1-port Fibre Channel Switch interfaces and you had a Node10 and Node20, the Fibre Channel Switch interface on Node 10 would be numbered 10-2 and the Fibre Channel Switch interface on Node20 would be numbered 20-2. Whereas in the case of a 2x2 configuration with 2-port Fibre Channel Switch interfaces and the same nodes
