Chapter 8 Configuring FCIP
Assigning a Protocol, Peer Name, and Peer IP Address
Assigning Protocol: tcpserver
If the peer FCIP instance is configured as a TCP client, use the following procedure to assign an arbitrary
peer name and configure the peer’s IP address.
Assigning Protocol: tcpclient
If the peer FCIP instance is configured as a TCP server, use the following procedure to assign an
arbitrary name to the peer and configure the peer’s IP address.
Command Description
Step 1
enable Enter Administrator mode.
Step 2
fcip fcip2 destination fcip1san5
tcpserver 10.1.0.47
Assign an arbitrary name to the peer FCIP instance, and enter its
IP address.
For example, assign the name fcip1san5 to the peer of FCIP
instance fcip2. The IP address of the peer is in dotted quad notation
10.1.0.47, and connection is made using TCP protocol, with fcip2
acting as a TCP server. The TCP server will listen for a TCP
connection attempt from its peer, which must be configured as a
TCP client.
Note If you are configuring two FCIP instances on the
SN 5428-2, do not configure both instances as TCP
servers. Instead, configure both instances as TCP clients,
or one as a TCP server and the other as a TCP client. If
both instances have to be TCP servers then they should use
different TCP ports.
See Chapter 12, “Command Line Interface Reference,” for more
information about the fcip destination command.
Command Description
Step 1
enable Enter Administrator mode.
Step 2
fcip fcip2 destination fcip2san5
tcpclient 10.1.0.46
Assign an arbitrary name to the peer FCIP instance, and enter its
IP address.
For example, assign the name fcip2san5 to the peer of FCIP
instance fcip2. The IP address of the peer is in dotted quad notation
10.1.0.46, and connection is made using TCP protocol, with fcip2
acting as a TCP client. The TCP client will try to initialize the TCP
connection with its peer, which must be configured as a TCP
server.
See Chapter 12, “Command Line Interface Reference,” for more
information about the fcip destination command.
