PREFACE
This document covers the installation, setup or configuration, and use of the
Remote Switch and Extended Fabrics products.
Remote Switch, in conjunction with a compatible fibre channel to an
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) gateway, enables two fabric switches
to be connected over an ATM connection, with a distance of up to 10 km
between each switch and the respective ATM gateway. Extended Fabrics
allows you to use fibre channel technology to create a fabric interconnected
at up to 100 km. For example, you can use Extended Fabrics to increase the
allowable distance between two switches, or between a switch and an ATM
gateway in a Remote Switch configuration.
