Documentation updates for Fabric OS v7.2.0 and later
The updates in this section are for the Fabric OS FCIP Administrator’s Guide, publication number
53-1002928-01, published July 2013.
Chapter 1, FCIP Concepts and Features
Under “IP WAN network considerations,” the first bullet entry is modified as follows:
• Routers and firewalls that are in the data path must be configured to pass FCIP traffic (TCP
port 3225) and IPsec traffic, if IPsec is used (UDP port 500). The Brocade TCP implementation
selects a port between 49152 and 65535 as the ephemeral (or initiating) port to open up to
port 3225.
Chapter 3, Configuring FCIP
In Table 10, Circuit options:
• Under Adaptive rate limiting (ARL), the correct valid ranges for -min-comm-rate are 10,000
Kbps through 1,000,000 Kbps for GbE ports and 10,000 to 10,000,000 Kbps for 10 GbE
ports (XGE). Add to note that the rate does not need to be an integral value of 1,000,000 and
both sides of the tunnel must have matching configurations.
• Under Adaptive rate limiting (ARL), for -max-comm-rate add to note that the rate does not need
to be an integral value of 1,000,000, the maximum committed rate can be no larger than five
times the minimum committed rate, and both sides of the tunnel must have matching
configurations.
