Integrated Routing allows any port in a SAN768B, SAN80B-4, and SAN40B-4 to be configured as an EX port supporting FCR. Integrated Routing is FCR support on the 8 Gbps ports as a native capability, hence they are referred to as native EX ports. This eliminates the need to add a routing blade or use the SAN18B-R for FCR purposes, and also provides double the bandwidth for each FC router connection when connected to another 8 Gbps-capable port.
