A
47、n Inter-Fabric Router is a Fibre Channel device that permits attached Fibre ChannelNx_Ports to be shared among multiple independent Fibre Channel Fabrics.An Inter-Fabric Router, or a series of Inter-Fabric Routers, connects Fabrics and provides thefunctionality required to present a Native Nx_Port t
48、o each Fabric as a Proxy N_Port. The entireinterconnection of Fabrics and Inter-Fabric Routers is referred to as a Fibre Channel Inter-Fabric.Two modes of operation are specified for Inter-Fabric Routers, simple mode and network addresstranslation (NAT) mode. From the perspective of the requirements
49、 placed on Inter-Fabric Routers,the NAT mode of operation is a proper subset of the requirements of the simple mode of operation.The frames that pass between Inter-Fabric Routers that are bound for Native Nx_Ports are referredto as Routable Frames. This term distinguishes these frames from other frames
