Note Each FCIP instance must connect to a unique peer SN 5428-2 Storage Router. If you have two FCIP
instances running in a single storage router, you cannot connect both instances to the same peer
SN 5428-2 Storage Router.
Use this command to configure an IP address for the FCIP instance, to be used by the FCIP peer for IP
connectivity. For the FCIP instance named fcip1, the IP address is automatically associated with the
Gigabit Ethernet interface, ge1. For the FCIP instance named fcip2, the IP address is automatically
associated with the Gigabit Ethernet interface, ge2.
When configuring an FCIP instance, you must configure the network interface before you configure the
peer destination and protocol.
If the secondary keyword is used, both Gigabit Ethernet interfaces must be connected to the same
network segment. If the primary interface goes down and remains down for two seconds, the IP address
will be moved to the secondary interface.
Note If you configure a Gigabit Ethernet IP address with a secondary interface, all Gigabit Ethernet IP
addresses on the same subnet must also be configured with the same secondary interface.
You can configure two FCIP instances on a single storage router to use the same network interface. You
must fully configure one FCIP instance, and then configure a second FCIP instance without configuring
a network interface. The second FCIP instance will use the same network interface as configured for the
first instance. The two FCIP instances should use different connection protocols, or if both are
configured as TCP servers, each FCIP instance must use a unique TCP port number.
Examples The following command adds the IP address 10.1.10.128/24, to the FCIP instance named fcip2. This IP
address will automatically be associated with the Gigabit Ethernet interface, ge2.
[SN5428-2A]# fcip fcip2 networkif 10.1.10.128/24
The following command adds the IP address 10.1.30.128, with a netmask of 255.255.255.0, to the FCIP
instance fcip1. This IP address is automatically associated with the Gigabit Ethernet interface, ge1. If
the primary interface is not available, the IP address will be moved to the secondary Gigabit Ethernet
interface, ge2. The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces must be connected to the same network.
[SN5428-2A]# fcip fcip1 networkif 10.1.30.128/255.255.255.0 secondary
The following set of commands configures the FCIP instance named fcip1, adds the network IP address
10.1.40.42/24, and configures the destination, dest1, with a TCP client connection type. The second
FCIP instance, fcip2, is configured with a destination named dest2 and a TCP server connection type.
Both FCIP instances will use the 10.1.40.42/24 network interface.
