McDATA 3000 manual Configuring an EPort Extension over an ATM WAN

Configuring a 1x1 ATM Wide Area Network

The Create Data Path Wizard - Choose Data Path Options screen appears.

Use this dialog box to choose the data path options you want enabled between the Fibre Channel interfaces.

Enable Disk Streaming

Check this box to enable E_port Disk Streaming. E_port Disk Streaming increases performance in networks that have a round trip latency greater than 10 ms. It moves data more efficiently than our standard E_port solution.

E_port Disk Streaming is disabled by default (the box is not checked). To verify if E_port Disk Streaming has been enabled after the network has been configured, refer to the “E_Port Disk Streaming Settings” section in Appendix D, Advanced UCM Configurations.

Chapter 3, Network Design Criteria, provides network recommendations for E_port Disk Streaming, see the “E_Port Disk Streaming Network Recommendations” section.

Enable Switch WWN Proxy

Use this dialog box to choose whether you would like to enable the Switch WWN Proxy between Node10 and Node20. If this option is enabled, the Fibre Channel driver will respond to Exchange Link Parameter (ELP) requests with the World Wide Name (WWN) of the remote Fibre Channel Switch. This option is disabled by default (the box is not checked).
