FIGURE 79 Sample topology (physical topology)
Figure 80 shows a phantom topology for the physical topology shown in Figure 79. In this figure, the dashed lines and shapes represent
the phantom topology from the perspective of Fabric 1. Fabrics 2 and 3 also see phantom topologies, but they are not shown in this
example. In this figure, note the following:
∙ Front domain 1 and Front domain 2 are front domains for EX_Ports connecting to Fabric 1. There is one front domain for each
FC router that is connected to Fabric 1.
∙ Xlate domain 1 and Xlate domain 2 represent Fabrics 2 and 3, respectively. No xlate domain is created for Fabric 4 because
there are no LSAN devices in Fabric 4.
∙ Target 1’, Target 2’, and Target 3’ are proxy devices for Target 1, Target 2, and Target 3, respectively.
