Configuring an E_Port
Extension over an
Ethernet WAN
This chapter contains the procedures for configuring your UltraNet
Edge 3000 for E_port extension over an Ethernet WAN using
McDATA’s UltraNet ConfigManager configuration tool. This chapter
also covers how to configure your UltraNet Edge 3000 for E_port
Disk Streaming, which uses a subset of our Fibre Channel Device
Extension technology and allows data to be moved more efficiently
than our standard E_port solution. The configuration process is the
same as E_port extension with an additional single attribute in the
UltraNet ConfigManager application. Prior to configuring the
UltraNet Edge 3000, you should be familiar with Fibre Channel,
10/100 Ethernet, and Gigabit networking principles. You will need to
gather the IP addresses for your UltraNet Edge 3000 to configure an
Ethernet WAN. See the UltraNet Edge Storage Router Configuration
IP Address Worksheet in Appendix J.
