Fabric redundancy and routing
B-series 8 Gb/s switches with integrated Fibre Channel routing, 1606 Extension SAN Switches or
DC Dir Switch MP Extension Blades, or MP Routers can connect one group of fabrics, or a single
fabric can connect multiple Virtual Fabrics or VSANs with IFR or IVR. For a high-availability, fully
redundant implementation, you can have two routers and two groups of fabrics (Figure 22), or
two groups of Virtual Fabrics or VSANs with IFR (Figure 23) or IVR (Figure 24).
For more information, see “High-availability router configurations” (page 55).
