Local SAN Island Connectivity
You can use either the the SANsurfer Router Manager (see the iSR6142 Router
Manager User's Guide) or Command Line Interface (CLI) (see the iSR6142
Router CLI User's Guide) to map any of the following connections:
 iSCSI server to an FC device (target)
 FC server to an iSCSI device (target)
 FC server from one SAN to FC target on another SAN
FCIP - Fibre Channel over IP
The iSR6142 router supports FCIP, Fibre Channel over IP. The FCIP protocol as
implemented in the router is not guaranteed nor has it been tested to be
compatible with other vendor FCIP implementations. The router supports up to
two FCIP routes; each route requires a dedicated FC and GE port pair.
 Merge FC fabrics over LAN/WAN
 N-port to fabric over LAN/WAN
 N-port to N-port over LAN/WAN
Chassis LEDs
The chassis LEDs shown in Figure 2-4 provide information about the router’s
operational status. These LEDs include the input power LED, heartbeat LED, and
the system fault LED. To apply power to the router, plug the power cord into the
router AC power receptacle and into a 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50 Hz to 60 Hz
power source.

CAUTION!
When adding multiple routers in the same physical SAN, you must import a
given FC device from a remote SAN on only one iSR6142 in the local
physical SAN. If you import the same FC device from multiple iSR6142s into
the same physical SAN, the system duplicates FC world-wide port names
(WWPNs). This can disrupt the SAN.
