NOTE:

If you want to enable compression across the FCIP link, click the Enable Compression

checkbox in the Tunnel Conﬁgurations window. Do not select the FastWrite checkbox as HP

Continuous Access EVA uses other ways to do this.

Since it is a hardware-enabled compression, HP recommends enabling compression. HP

also recommends using committed tunnels.

NOTE:

When conﬁguring the second MP Router, the local and remote IP addresses will be relative

to the machine you are on. You will need to reverse them when con ﬁ guring the second

NOTE:

It can take Web To ols a while to update the FCIP changes. You can monitor the FCIP

Tunnels tab on the Port Administration Services window for link status.

NOTE:

When you setup an FCIP tunnel (for FCR – Fibre Channel routing) , ensure that the FC ports

(0 – 15) are disabled. This prevents unintended fabric m erges.
