Assigning a Peer IP Address

The basic FCIP configuration uses the peer's IP address to configure the peer information. You can also
specify the peer's port number to configure the peer information. If you do not specify a port, the default
3225 port number is used to establish connection. You can specify an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address.
To assign the peer information based on the IPv4 address and port number, follow these steps:
Command

Step 1

switch(config-if)# peer-info ipaddr 10.1.1.1
switch(config-if)# no peer-info ipaddr
10.10.1.1
Step 2
switch(config-if)# peer-info ipaddr 10.1.1.1
port 3000
switch(config-if)# no peer-info ipaddr
10.1.1.1 port 3000
Step 3
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
To assign the peer information based on the IPv6 address and port number, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch(config-if)# peer-info ipaddr
switch(config-if)# no peer-info ipaddr
2001:0db8:800:200c::417a
Step 2
switch(config-if)# peer-info ipaddr
2001:0db8:800:200c::417a port 3000
switch(config-if)# no peer-info ipaddr
2001:0db8:800:200c::417a port 3000
Step 3
switch(config-if)# ipv6 enable
Step 4
switch(config-if)# no shutdown

Configuring Active Connections

You can configure the required mode for initiating a TCP connection. By default, the active mode is
enabled to actively attempt an IP connection. If you enable the passive mode, the switch does not initiate
a TCP connection but waits for the peer to connect to it. By default, the switch tries two TCP connections
for each FCIP link.
Ensure that both ends of the FCIP link are not configured as passive mode. If both ends are configured
Note
as passive, the connection is not initiated.

Purpose
Assigns an IPv4 address to configure the peer
information. Because no port is specified, the
default port number (3225) is used.
Deletes the assigned peer port information.
Assigns the IPv4 address and sets the peer TCP
port to 3000. The valid port number range is 0
to 65535.
Deletes the assigned peer port information.
Enables the interface.
Purpose
Assigns an IPv6 address to configure the peer
information. Because no port is specified, the
default port number (3225) is used.
Deletes the assigned peer port information.
Assigns the IPv6 address and sets the peer TCP
port to 3000. The valid port number range is 0
to 65535.
Deletes the assigned peer port information.
Enables IPv6 processing on the interface.
Enables the interface.
