iSCSI in a routed environment

Just a quick question .......

Does the iSCSI specification allow for iSCSI data transmission and retrieval across routed networks ?

Thanks.

I was just wondering what the official line is on the spec, as the HP StorageWorks 1510i only allows management access to storage through a router. Data access is restricted to the same subnet only.

The reason given for this is that the CRC will change as the encapsulated SCSI commands go through a router, but I would have thought that the spec was written in such a way as to handle that situation ?

perhaps someone could help me with my issue?

recommendations are to have the SAN on a separate network as far as i've read, so how do i set thjs up to have the SAN on a separate network, with access for exchange and the management console to the SAN and 10.10.0.x network?

Cheers
