Adding an FCIP circuit
22
Logical switch function in the Add FCIP Circuit dialog box
The display and function of circuits created on logical switches and with shared GigE ports varies
on the Add FCIP Circuit dialog box according to the discovery of the default switch and
user-configured logical switches as follows.
•
If both the default logical switch and user-configured logical switch are discovered:
-
The GigE Port list displays all GigE ports in the logical switches, including ports from the
default logical switches and user-configured logical switches.
-
A circuit created with a shared GigE port will create an interface on the default logical
switch, but the circuit will be created on the selected logical switch.
-
Selecting Verify IP Connectivity verifies the connectivity using the default logical switch
because the interface is on this switch.
•
If the user-configured logical switch is discovered and the default logical switch is not
discovered:
-
On adding a circuit, only the GigE ports present in the logical switch will display.
-
You cannot display or edit shared circuits of the default logical switch.
•
In a fabric with two logical switches that have a shared GigE port and only the default logical
switch for one logical switch is discovered on:
-
On adding a circuit, only the GigE ports present in the logical switch with the discovered
default logical switch will be listed.
For details on configuring FCIP with logical switches, use the following references:
•
“Using FCIP with logical switches” section in the Fabric OS FCIP Administrator’s Guide .

Chapter 19, “Virtual Fabrics” .
Circuit configuration failure
When a tunnel cannot be created because the process for adding a new circuit configuration fails,
the FCIP Tunnel/Circuit Configurations dialog box displays. Using this dialog box, you can perform
the following tasks:
•
Roll back the current changes to the circuit configuration.
•
Elect to not roll back current circuit configuration changes.
•
Continue configuring additional circuits at this point.
•
Stop configuring additional circuits.
