FCIP fastwrite/tape pipelining configurations
To help understand the supported configurations, consider the configurations shown in the Figure 51 and
Figure 52. In both cases, there are no multiple equal-cost paths. In Figure 51, there is a single tunnel with
fastwrite and tape pipelining enabled. In Figure 52, there are multiple tunnels, but none of them create a
multiple equal-cost path.
Figure 51 Single tunnel, fastwrite and tape pipelining enabled
Figure 52 Multiple tunnels to multiple ports, fastwrite and tape pipelining enabled on a per-tunnel/per-port
basis
Unsupported configurations for fastwrite and tape pipelining
The configurations shown in Figure 53 are not supported with fastwrite and tape pipelining. These
configurations use multiple equal-cost paths.
Connection can be
VE-VE or VEX-VE
