Chapter 8 Configuring FCIP
Configuring Operational Parameters
Assigning Protocol: raw
If the peer FCIP instance is configured to use raw IP, use the following procedure to assign an arbitrary
name to the FCIP peer and configure the peer’s IP address.
Configuring Operational Parameters
For FCIP deployment, a large maximum transfer unit (MTU) size is desirable. To set the size of the
MTU, use the interface ge? mtusize command to set MTU to its highest level, 9000, if possible.
To configure FCIP operational parameters, use the fcip destination command. The default settings for
operational command parameters are listed in this section. If modifications to these settings are
necessary, see Chapter 12, “Command Line Interface Reference,” for details about the fcip destination
command.
Table 8-1 describes the optional operational parameters available for TCP protocol.
Command Description
Step 1
enable Enter Administrator mode.
Step 2
fcip fcip1 destination fcip1san5
raw 10.1.0.48
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 fcip1. The IP address of the peer is in dotted quad notation
10.1.0.48, and connection is made using raw protocol.
See Chapter 12, “Command Line Interface Reference,” for more
information about the fcip destination command.
