378 Configuring and monitoring FCIP tunneling
The following example shows IP interfaces defined for slot 8 on GbE port ge0:
Then verify the newly-created IP interface using the
portShow
command:
Configuring the GbE ports
Each GbE port has eight virtual channels. In order to enable FCIP on these ports you must configure them
as either a VE_Port or a VEX_Port, depending on whether you want to the fabrics connected using FCIP to
merge. Two fabrics connected with VE_Ports will merge into a single fabric. Two fabrics connected with a
VEX_Port / VE_Port will not merge. The destination IFL port type for a VEX_Port should always be a
VE_Port. By default the virtual ports will automatically become VE_Ports.
Use
portCfgVexport
to specify a port as a VEX_Port is as follows:
portcfgvexport [ slotnumber /] portnumber [-a admin ][-f fabricid ][-d
domainid ]
[-p pidformat ][-t fabric_parameter ]
where:
-a admin
Specify 1 to enable or 2 to disable the admin.
-f fabricid
Specify 1 to 128 for the fabric ID.
-d domainid
Specify 1 to 239 for the preferred domain ID.
-p pidformat
Specify 1 for core, 2 for extended edge, and 3 for native port ID format.
-t fabric_parameter
Specify 1 to enable or 2 to disable negotiate fabric parameters.
For example, to configure a port as a VEX_Port for slot number 8 in port number 18, enable the
admin
,
with fabric ID 2 and preferred domain ID 220:
Adding IP routes on a GbE port
After defining the IP interface of the remote switch, you can define destination routes on an interface. You
can specify a maximum of 32 routes per GbE port.
The syntax to create IP routes is:
portcfg iproute [ slot /][ge] port args create ipaddr netmask gateway_router
metric
switch:admin06> portshow ipif 8/ge0
Port: 8/ge0
