Configuring FCIP
TCP Client
If the peer FCIP instance is configured as a TCP client, use the following
procedure to configure the FCIP instance with the IP address and TCP server
protocol of the peer.
1. enable — Enter Administrator mode
2. fcip fcip2 destination tcpserver 10.1.0.47 — Assign the
Note:
both instances as TCP servers. Instead, configure both instances as TCP clients or one as
a TCP server and the other as a TCP client. If both instances have to be TCP servers then
they should use different TCP ports.
TCP Server
If the peer FCIP instance is configured as a TCP server, use the following
procedure to configure the FCIP instance with the IP address and TCP client
protocol of the peer.
1. enable — Enter Administrator mode
2. fcip fcip2 destination tcpclient 10.1.0.46 — Assign the

IP address of the peer FCIP instance and configure the protocol.
For example, the IP address of the peer is in dotted quad notation 10.1.0.47
and connection is made using TCP protocol with fcip2 acting as a TCP server.
The TCP server will listen for a TCP connection attempt from its peer which
must be configured as a TCP client.

IP address of the peer FCIP instance and configure the protocol.
For example, the IP address of the peer is in dotted quad notation 10.1.0.46
and connection is made using TCP protocol with fcip2 acting as a TCP client.
The TCP client will try to initialize the TCP connection with its peer which
must be configured as a TCP server.
