displays a Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)-based high availability FCIP

VRRP-Based High Availability

IP interfaces are in VRRP group

If the active VRRP port fails, the standby VRRP port takes over the VRRP IP address.

When the VRRP switchover happens, the FCIP link automatically disconnects and reconnects.

This configuration has only one FCIP (E)ISL link.

Ethernet PortChannel-Based High Availability

Ethernet ports are

in PortChannel

The Gigabit Ethernet link level redundancy ensures a transparent failover if one of the Gigabit

Ethernet links fails.

Two Gigabit Ethernet ports in one Ethernet PortChannel appear like one logical Gigabit Ethernet
