Creating An Fcip Tunnel - Brocade Communications Systems 8 Administrator's Manual

Creating an FCIP tunnel

FCIP tunnels are created using the portCfg fciptunnel create command.
The following command creates the FX8-24 end of the tunnel. VE_port 12 is specified. Circuit
parameters are included to create circuit 0. The 7800 switch destination address is specified first,
followed by the FX8-24 source address. ARL minimum and maximum committed rates are specified
for circuit 0.
switch:admin> portcfg fciptunnel 8/12 create 192.168.11.78 192.168.1.24
-b 15500 -B 1000000
The following command creates the 7800 end of the tunnel. VE_port 16 is specified. Circuit
parameters are included to create circuit 0 on the 7800. The circuit parameters must match up
correctly with the circuit parameters on the FX8-24 end of the circuit. The FX8-24 destination
address is specified first, followed by the 7800 source address. Matching ARL minimum and
maximum committed rates must be specified on both ends of circuit 0.
switch:admin> portcfg fciptunnel 16 create 192.168.1.24 192.168.11.78
-b 15500 -B 1000000
You can create a tunnel with no circuit parameters. This may be useful in staging a configuration
without committing specific circuit parameters.
FIGURE 12
Most FCIP features are enabled using optional arguments available on the portcfg fciptunnel
create command and the portcfg fciptunnel modify command. Some of these arguments apply only
to FCIP tunnels, and are used only on the portcfg fciptunnel create command and the portcfg
fciptunnel modify commands. FCIP tunnel options are summarized in
Other options apply to FCIP circuits. Circuit options are described in
NOTE
When circuit options are specified on the portcfg fciptunnel create command and the portcfg
fciptunnel modify command, they apply only to circuit 0. When additional circuits are added, circuit
options must be applied per circuit using the portcfg fcipcircuit create or the portcfg fcipcircuit
modify command.
