fciptunnel Creates a Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) tunnel. The circuit-specific attributes
are optional. An FCIP tunnel may consist of zero or more FCIP circuits. A
working FCIP tunnel must contain at least one FCIP circuit. The syntax for
portcfg fciptunnel is as follows:
portcfg fciptunnel [slot/]ve_port options [tunnel_arguments]
[circuit_arguments]
The following options are supported with fciptunnel:
create [tunnel_arguments] [circuit_arguments]
Creates an FCIP tunnel with an optional FCIP circuit. A single circuit may be
specified with the create option. To add additional circuits to an existing
tunnel, use the fcipcircuit create command. The circuit created with the
tunnel is automatically assigned the circuit ID 0. To modify or delete this
tunnel you must use the fcipcircuit command. Required arguments for
fciptunnel create include:
remote_ip_addr
Specifies the IP address for the remote end of the FCIP tunnel. IPv6
addresses are currently not supported.
local_ip_addr Specifies the IP address for the local end of the FCIP tunnel. IPv6
addresses are currently not supported.
The following operands are exclusive:
comm_rate
Specifies the committed traffic rate on the FCIP tunnel in Kbps. The valid
range is 1544 Kbps - 1000000 Kbps. There is no default. Both sides of
the tunnel must have matching configurations.
--min-comm-rate value, --max-comm-rate value
Alternately you may set a minimum and a maximum for the committed
rate to configure the tunnel for Adaptive Rate Limiting (ARL), which allows
for a more effective sharing of bandwidth between applications. The valid
range is 1544 Kbps - 1000000 Kbps. Both sides of the tunnel must have
matching configurations.
modify [tunnel_arguments] [circuit_arguments]
Modifies the properties of an existing FCIP tunnel. To modify a tunnel, you
must specify at least one of the tunnel parameters for the command to be
effective. Any circuit attribute you change with the fciptunnel modify
command affects only the FCIP circuit 0. All other circuits remain unchanged.
Use the fcipcircuit modify command to change the attributes of circuits other
than 0.
delete tunnel_ID
Deletes the specified FCIP tunnel. This command deletes all associated
circuits created with the fciptunnel or fcipcircuit commands. Use the
portShow command for a display of tunnels and their IDs.
Optional tunnel_arguments for fciptunnel create and modify include:
-f |--fastwrite 0|1]
Enables (1) or disables (0) FastWrite on the specified FCIP tunnel.
