Typical Configuration of the UltraNet Edge 3000

Figure 2-1 illustrates how two UltraNet Edge 3000 units configured
for E_port extension can be used to interconnect Fibre Channel SANs
using a new or existing Ethernet or ATM WAN.

The UltraNet Edge 3000 can also be configured for F_port which
eliminates the requirement for an external Fibre

Channel

switch.

Configurations

1x1 and 2x2 configurations are standard Ethernet configurations for
the UltraNet Edge 3000. The UltraNet Edge 3000 can also be
configured in a

1x2, 2x1 and 3x1 configurations, but they are not

supported as standard implementations.

The 1x1 configuration consists of:

•

One Fibre Channel interface extended over one 10/100 Ethernet
or one Gigabit Ethernet WAN

The 2x2 configuration consists of:

•

Two Fibre Channel interfaces extended over either two 10/100
Ethernet or two Gigabit Ethernet WAN

•

Mixed application mode of one FCXL2 and one FCBB Fibre
Channel card is supported for Gigabit Ethernet WAN only

The UltraNet Edge 3000 to IP connectivity is supported through
either a 10/100 Ethernet or a Gigabit Ethernet interface, each with
compression.
