Quality of Service

The quality of service (QoS) parameter specifies the differentiated services code point (DSCP) value to
mark all IP packets (type of service—TOS field in the IP header).
•
•
If the FCIP link has only one TCP connection, that data DSCP value is applied to all packets in that
connection.
To set the QoS values, follow these steps:
Command

Step 1

switch(config-if)# qos control 24 data 26
switch(config-if)# no qos control 24 data
26

Configuring E Ports

You can configure E ports in the same way you configure FCIP interfaces. The following features are
also available for FCIP interfaces:
•

Displaying FCIP Interface Information

Use the show interface commands to view the summary, counter, description, and status of the FCIP
link. Use the output of these commands to verify the administration mode, the interface status, the
operational mode, the related VSAN ID, and the profile used. See
Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS IP Services Configuration Guide
2-22
The control DSCP value applies to all FCIP frames in the control TCP connection.
The data DSCP value applies to all FCIP frames in the data connection.
An FCIP interface can be a member of any VSAN
see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Fabric Configuration
Trunk mode and trunk allowed VSANs
see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide.
PortChannels
see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Security Configuration Guide:
Multiple FCIP links can be bundled into a Fibre Channel PortChannel.
–
FCIP links and Fibre Channel links cannot be combined in one PortChannel.
–
FSPF
see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Fabric Configuration Guide.
Fibre Channel domains (fcdomains)
see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS System Management Configuration Guide.
Importing and exporting the zone database from the adjacent switch

Purpose
Configures the control TCP connection and data
connection to mark all packets on that DSCP value.
The control and data value ranges from 0 to 63.
Reverts the switch to its factory default (marks all
control and data packets with DCSP value 0).
