PREFACE

This document covers the installation, setup or configuration, and use of the

Remote Switch and Extended Fabrics products.

Remote Switch, in conjunction with a compatible fibre channel to an

asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) gateway, enables two fabric switches

to be connected over an ATM connection, with a distance of up to 10 km

between each switch and the respective ATM gateway. Extended Fabrics

allows you to use fibre channel technology to create a fabric interconnected

at up to 100 km. For example, you can use Extended Fabrics to increase the

allowable distance between two switches, or between a switch and an ATM

gateway in a Remote Switch configuration.
