Extension over an
Ethernet WAN
This chapter contains the procedures for configuring your UltraNet
Edge 3000 for F_port over an Ethernet WAN using McDATA’s
UltraNet ConfigManager configuration tool.
The UltraNet Edge 3000 contains an internal Fibre Channel Switch
(FCSW) application which eliminates the need for an external Fibre
Channel switch when configured as F_port. See Chapter 2, Hardware
Configurations, for more information about valid configurations for
the UltraNet Edge 3000.
Prior to configuring the UltraNet Edge 3000, you should be familiar
with Fibre Channel, 10/100 Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet
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.
