In Figure 59, the two encryption switches provide a redundant encryption path to the target
devices. The encryption switches are interconnected through a dedicated cluster LAN. The Ge1 and
Ge0 gigabit Ethernet ports on each of these switches are attached to this LAN. This LAN connection
provides the communication needed to distribute and synchronize configuration information, and
enable the two switches to act as a high availability (HA) cluster, providing automatic failover if one
of the switches fails, or is taken out of service.
Single fabric deployment - DEK cluster
Figure 60 shows an encryption deployment in a single fabric with two paths between a host and a
target.device.
