HP StorageWorks B-Series Remote Replication Solution Best Practices Guide (5697-6731, June 2007)

7Appendix:
Configuring FCIP interfaces and tunnels on the HP
StorageWorks 400 MP Router using CLI commands
This section is for expert users.
Command procedure description
1. The user will use a telnet session to connect (login) to the local and remote B-Series routers.
2. Ensure that both the FC and FCIP ports are disabled during configuration operations. This prevents
unintended fabric merges between local and remote fabr ics.
3. By default, virtual ports are created as VE_Ports. If a VEX_Port is desired, use portcfgvexport
to configur
etheport.
4. Use the co
mmand portcfg to configure the GbE port, I P interfaces on the GbE port, static routes
on the IP i
nterface, and FCIP tunnels.
a. Define the IP interface of each virtual port.
b. Add IP routes on a GbE port, i.e., create the static IP route.
c. Configur
e the FCIP tunnel.
