Deployment in Fibre Channel routed fabrics

In this deployment, the encryption switch may be connected as part of the backbone fabric to
another switch or blade that provides the EX_port connections (

Figure 126

), or it may form the

backbone fabric and directly provide the EX_port connections (

Figure 127

). The encryption

resources can be shared with the host and target edge fabrics using device sharing between
backbone and edge fabrics.
