Deployment as part of an edge fabric
In this deployment, the encryption switch is connected to either the host or target edge fabric. The
backbone fabric may contain a 7800 extension switch or FX8-24 blade in a DCX or DCX 8510
Backbone, or an FCR-capable switch or blade. The encryption resources of the encryption switch
can be shared with the other edge fabrics using FCR in the backbone fabric (
Figure 99 ).
