fcip networkif
fcip networkif
To assign a Gigabit Ethernet interface and IP address to the named FCIP instance, use the fcip networkif
command. The specified interface provides IP connectivity between the FCIP instance and its peer
destination.
fcip name networkif {A.B.C.D/bits | A.B.C.D/1.2.3.4} [secondary]
Syntax Description
Defaults None.
Command Modes Administrator.
Command History
Usage Guidelines The specified interface IP address is configured as the destination IP address for the FCIP instance
running in the peer SN 5428-2 Storage Router.
Each FCIP instance requires three active elements:
• The networkif element assigns an interface and IP address for use by the FCIP peer.
• The destination element assigns the peer’s protocol and IP address.
• The device interface element associates the FCIP instance with an internal Fibre Channel interface
and is automatically assigned and enabled.
An FCIP instance runs with a point-to-point connection to an FCIP instance on a peer SN 5428-2 Storage
Router. Each FCIP instance requires one and only one peer.
name Name of the FCIP instance to which you are adding the Gigabit Ethernet
interface. Valid names are fcip1 and fcip2.
A.B.C.D/bits The IP address of the named interface. A.B.C.D is the dotted quad notation
of the IP address. The /bits specifies the subnet mask in CIDR style.
Note For the FCIP instance named fcip1, the IP address must be
accessible from the Gigabit Ethernet interface, ge1. For the instance
named fcip2, the IP address must be accessible from the interface
ge2.
A.B.C.D/1.2.3.4 The IP address of the named interface. A.B.C.D is the dotted quad notation
of the IP address. 1.2.3.4 is the dotted quad notation of the subnet mask.
secondary (Optional) Indicates the specified IP address is available from both Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces. If the primary interface goes down and remains down
for two seconds, the specified IP address will be moved to the secondary
interface.
