Configuring a Remote Switch Fabric
A Remote Switch fabric requires two StorageWorks SAN Switches (2Gb, v 3x or
v4x), or StorageWorks Core Switches with identical configurations.
Remote Switch is supported over Fibre Channel for the following gateway
devices:
Most of these gateway devices include a large number of buffers to cover data
transfer over WAN.
A separate extended fabric license is not required to operate the switch at
distances much greater than 100 kilometers. This can be achieved when the switch
operates over an FCIP WAN connection.
In addition to normal switch configuration options, you can configure the
following parameters depending on the gateway requirements:
