Configuring an E_Port

Extension over an

Ethernet WAN

This chapter contains the procedures for configuring your UltraNet Edge 3000 for E_port extension over an Ethernet WAN using McDATA’s UltraNet ConfigManager configuration tool. This chapter also covers how to configure your UltraNet Edge 3000 for E_port Disk Streaming, which uses a subset of our Fibre Channel Device Extension technology and allows data to be moved more efficiently than our standard E_port solution. The configuration process is the same as E_port extension with an additional single attribute in the UltraNet ConfigManager application. Prior to configuring the UltraNet Edge 3000, you should be familiar with Fibre Channel, 10/100 Ethernet, and Gigabit networking principles. You will need to gather the IP addresses for your UltraNet Edge 3000 to configure an Ethernet WAN. See the UltraNet Edge Storage Router Configuration IP Address Worksheet in Appendix J.
