To enable FCIP on any participating switch, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# fcip enable
switch(config)# no fcip enable
Basic FCIP Configuration
To configure an FCIP link, follow these steps on both switches:
Step 1
Configure the Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Step 2
Create an FCIP profile, and then assign the Gigabit Ethernet interface's IP address to the profile.
Step 3
Create an FCIP interface, and then assign the profile to the interface.
Configure the peer IP address for the FCIP interface.
Step 4
Enable the interface.
Step 5
Creating FCIP Profiles
You must assign a local IP address of a Gigabit Ethernet interface or subinterface to the FCIP profile to
create an FCIP profile (see

IP address of Gigabit Ethernet
interface 3/1 = 10.100.1.25
To create an FCIP profile in switch 1, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch1# config terminal
switch1(config)#
Step 2
switch1(config)# fcip profile 10
switch1(config-profile)#
Step 3
switch1(config-profile)# ip address

IP address of Gigabit Ethernet
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Creates a profile for the FCIP connection. The
valid range is from 1 to 255.
Associates the profile (10) with the local IP
address of the Gigabit Ethernet interface (3/1).
