412 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 or deleting 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

The create argument is:

create ipaddr netmask gateway_router metric

switch:admin06> portshow ipif 8/ge0

Port: 8/ge0
