Fiber optic switches have RDP
RDP is an FC primitive, which enables you to use the FC switch command-line interface (CLI) to monitor and debug the small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical modules that are installed on endpoint devices. In an FC storage area network (SAN), bad optics and cabling tend to be one of the most. 100 meters is generally the certified maximum distance for the most common twisted-pair Ethernet standards up to 1 Gbps (and with good-quality cable you should be able to go a bit beyond that), so I'm tempted to say that it should just Work as-is: get a suitable Ethernet cable and configure the.
