Chapter 8 Configuring FCIP

Configuration Tasks

To configure FCIP on an SN 5428-2 Storage Router, perform the following steps:

Step 1 If not already done, set the domain ID to a different value on one of the peer SN5428-2s.

Step 2 Create an FCIP instance.

Step 3 Assign an interface and IP address to the FCIP instance for use by the peer storage router (another

SN 5428-2 configured for FCIP).

Step 4 Assign protocol and FCIP peer IP address.

Step 5 (Optional) Configure operational parameters as needed.

Step 6 Verify and save configuration.

Note Although this is shown as the last step, you can verify and save the configuration at any point in

the process of performing the configuration tasks. Save your configuration by using the

save all bootconfig CLI command. This command saves all configuration data to the bootable

configuration, which is then used when the storage router is rebooted.

Setting the Domain ID

Domain IDs must be unique between FCIP peers to avoid conflict. If the domain IDs are the same for

both peer SN 5428s, use the following procedure to set one of the peers to a different value.

Command Description

Step 1

Step 2

switched zoned fabric domain ID to 42.
