Fibre Channel to SCSI Protocol Process
This section describes the steps the router uses to convert Fibre Channel host
protocol to SCSI device protocol.
Figure 3 and Table 3 illustrate and define this
process.

Item Description
1 A Fibre Channel host issues an encapsulated FCP protocol command
packet to the router.
2 The router Fibre Channel controller interprets the Fibre Channel
information, and places the packet in buffer memory.
3 The router interprets the Fibre Channel information packet and programs
the router SCSI controller to process the transaction.
4 The router SCSI controller sends the command to the SCSI device
(target).
5 The SCSI target interprets the command and executes it.
