NOTE: The general recommendation is to run ipPerf only when there are no active tunnels on the IP

Creating an FCIP tunnel

After you have verified licensing and connectivity between source and destination IP interfaces, you can
configure FCIP tunnels. As you plan the tunnel configurations, be aware that uncommitted rate tunnels use
a minimum of 1000 Kbps, up to a maximum of available uncommitted bandwidth on the GbE port. The
total bandwidth available on a GbE port is 1 Gb/s. You can configure tunnels as bidirectional entities with
different commit rates in both directions.
NOTE: You cannot create FCIP tunnels that connect to an HP StorageWorks Multi-Protocol Router.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Create an FCIP tunnel using the portCfg fciptunnel command. The command syntax is as
follows.
portCfg fciptunnel [slot/]ge0|ge1 create tunnel_id remote_ip_addr local_ip_addr
comm_rate [-c] [-s] [-f] [-t] [-M] [-n remote_wwn] [-k timeout] [-r
retransmissions] [-m time] [-q control_dscp]
[-Q data_dscp] [-v vlan_id] [-p control_L2CoS] [-P data_L2CoS] [-ike ike_number]
