FCIP Profiles

The FCIP profile contains information about local IP address and TCP parameters. The profile defines
the following information:
•
•
The FCIP profile's local IP address determines the Gigabit Ethernet port where the FCIP links terminate

FCIP Interfaces

The FCIP interface is the local endpoint of the FCIP link and a VE port interface. All the FCIP and E
port parameters are configured in context to the FCIP interface.
The FCIP parameters consist of the following:
•
•
•

Enabling FCIP
To begin configuring the FCIP feature, you must explicitly enable FCIP on the required switches in the
fabric. By default, this feature is disabled in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family.
The configuration and verification commands for the FCIP feature are only available when FCIP is
enabled on a switch. When you disable this feature, all related configurations are automatically
discarded.
To use the FCIP feature, you need to obtain the SAN extension over IP package license
(SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP or SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP_IPS4) (see
Licenses").
