5. Test end-to-end IP path performance using WAN analysis tools (optional, may be done at any time).

NOTE: HP recommends that you run ipperf only when there are no active tunnels on the IP network For

Creating an FCIP tunnels

After you have verified licensing and connectivity between source and destination IP interfaces, you can
configure FCIP tunnels. As you plan the tunnel configurations, be aware that uncommitted rate tunnels use
a minimum of 1000 Kbps, up to a maximum of available uncommitted bandwidth on the GbE port. The
total bandwidth available on a GbE port is 1 Gbps. You can configure tunnels as bidirectional entities with
different commit rates in both directions.
1. Connect to the switch and log in an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Create an FCIP tunnel using the portCfg fciptunnel command:
portcfg fciptunnel [slot/]ge0|ge1 create tunnel_id remote_ip_addr local_ip_addr
comm_rate [-c] [-s] [-f] [-t] [-M] [-n remote_wwn] [-k timeout] [-r
retransmissions] [-m time] [-q control_dscp]
[-Q data_dscp] [-v vlan_id] [-p control_L2CoS] [-P data_L2CoS] [-ike ike_number]
[-ipsec ipsec_number] [-key preshared_key]
where:
slot

tunnel_id
remote_ip_addr
local_ip_addr
comm_rate
-c
-s
-f
-M
-t
-n remote_wwn
