Configuration steps

Minimum retransmit
time
Short option: -m
Long option:
--min-retrans-time
Operands: <ms>
No The minimum retransmit time, in
milliseconds. The range of valid values is
20 through 5,000 ms and the default is
100 ms.
Failover/standby metric Short option: -x
Long option: --metric
Operands: 0|1
Yes You can configure standby circuits by
assigning a metric. Refer to “FCIP circuit
failover capabilities” on page 17 for a
description of circuit failover and the use of
standby circuits.
VLAN Tagging Short option: -v
Long option: --vlan-tagging
Operands: <vlan-id>
Yes Applies VLAN tagging to a circuit and sets a
specific Layer 2 Class of Service (CoS).
Specify a vlan_id . Valid values are from 1
through 4095 and the default is 1. Refer to
“QoS, DSCP, and VLANs” on page 24 for
information about VLAN tagging.
Class of Service (CoS) Class of Service options (use
with VLAN tagging options
and operand):
--l2cos-f-class <n>
--l2cos-high <n>
--l2cos-medium <n>
--l2cos-low <n>
No Sets the Layer 2 Class Of Service (L2CoS)
options for VLAN tagging. Options are for
F-Class traffic, and high, medium, and low
priority traffic. Specify a value for <n> from
0 through 7 (default is 0).
DSCP Tagging DSCP tag options (use with
VLAN tagging options and
operand):
- -dscp-f-class <n>
- -dscp-high <n>
- -dscp-medium <n>
- -dscp-low <n>
No
Applies a DSCP tag to a circuit. Specify a
value for <n> from 0 through 63 (default is
0).
Refer to “QoS, DSCP, and VLANs” on
page 24 for information about DSCP
tagging.
Specify connection type Short option: -C
Long option:
--connection-type
Operands:
default|listener|initiator
Yes
Allows you to specify which side of the
circuit is the listener or initiator. If this is
not specified, the initiator or listener are
automatically selected based on the lower
and higher-order IP address. In NAT
environments, this can cause problems as
both sides of the circuit may have
lower-order addresses. When setting
initiator or listener options, a firmware
download to a previous version will not be
allowed until you set the default option.
Maximum retransmits Short option: -r
Long option:
--max-retransmits
Operands: <rtx>
No
Sets the maximum number of retransmits
for the FCIP circuit before the connection
will be brought down. If operating on a
lossy network, increasing this value may
allow the FCIP circuit to remain active
when it may otherwise fail. Specify a value
for <rtx> from 1 through 16 (default is 8).
Administrative status Short option: -a
Long option: --admin-status
Operands (modify and
create): 0|1
Yes
Disables or enables the FCIP circuit.
