Chapter 8 Configuring FCIP
Creating an FCIP Instance
Creating an FCIP Instance
Creating an FCIP instance consists of naming the new instance. Use the following procedure to create
an FCIP instance.
Assigning an IP Address
Use the following procedure to assign an IP address to the FCIP instance.
Assigning a Protocol, Peer Name, and Peer IP Address
An FCIP instance runs with a point-to-point connection to an FCIP instance on a peer SN 5428-2. Each
FCIP instance can be configured with one peer.
To configure the peer of an FCIP instance, you assign a protocol and an arbitrary peer name, and specify
the IP address of the peer. The peer name will be required for operational configuration changes, if any.
Assigning protocol consists of selecting a protocol type according to one of the following scenarios:
• If the peer FCIP instance is configured as a TCP client, assign protocol tcpserver as described in this
section.
• If the peer FCIP instance is configured as a TCP server, assign protocol tcpclient as described in this
section.
• If the peer FCIP instance is configured to use raw IP, assign protocol raw as described in this section.
Command Description
Step 1
enable Enter Administrator mode.
Step 2
fcip fcip1 Create an FCIP instance by naming the new instance. For example,
name the instance fcip1.
The FCIP instance named fcip1 uses the Gigabit Ethernet
interface, ge1; the instance named fcip2 uses ge2. See Chapter 12,
“Command Line Interface Reference,” for more information about
the fcip command.
Step 3
fcip fcip1 description “Access to
SAN island 5”
(Optional) Add a description of what the FCIP instance is for. For
example, add the description “Access to SAN island 5” to the FCIP
instance fcip1.
Command Description
Step 1
enable Enter Administrator mode.
Step 2
fcip fcip1 networkif 10.1.0.16/24 Assign an IP address to the FCIP instance. For example, assign IP
address 10.1.0.16 to the FCIP instance fcip1.
See Chapter 12, “Command Line Interface Reference,” for more
information about the fcip networkif command.
