Configuring FCIP
Cisco MDS 9000 Family IP storage (IPS) services extend the reach of Fibre Channel SANs by using
open-standard, IP-based technology. The switch can connect separated SAN islands using Fibre Channel
over IP (FCIP).
Note
FCIP is specific to the IPS module and is available in Cisco MDS 9200 Switches or Cisco MDS 9500
Directors.
The Cisco MDS 9216I switch and the 14/2 Multiprotocol Services (MPS-14/2) module also allow you
to use Fibre Channel, FCIP, and iSCSI features. The MPS-14/2 module is available for use in any switch
in the Cisco MDS 9200 Series or Cisco MDS 9500 Series.
