Configuring FCIP
This chapter explains how to configure your SN 5428-2 Storage Router for FCIP and contains the
following sections:
• Prerequisite Tasks, page 8-1
• Configuration Tasks, page 8-2
• Setting the Domain ID, page 8-2

• Assigning an IP Address, page 8-3
• Assigning a Protocol, Peer Name, and Peer IP Address, page 8-3

FCIP is configured in the setup wizard. To configure the FCIP deployment option further and to verify
the configuration, you can use the procedure in this chapter, or you can use the web-based GUI. To access
the web-based GUI, point your browser to the storage router’s management interface IP address. After
logging on, click the Help link to access online help for the GUI.
Prerequisite Tasks
Before performing FCIP configuration tasks on the SN 5428-2, make sure you have configured all
system parameters as described in Chapter 2, “First-Time Configuration,” or Chapter 3, “Configuring
System Parameters.”
To configure an FCIP instance, you will need the IP address and communication protocol of the FCIP
instance on the peer storage router (another SN5428-2 configured for FCIP).
