Configuring Virtual Ports

Each GbE port support up to eight virtual ports. To enable FCIP on these ports, you must configure
them as either VE_Port-to-VE_Port or VE_Port-to-VEX_Port, depending on whether you want to
merge the connected fabrics. Two fabrics connected with VE_Ports will merge. Two fabrics connected
with a VE_Port on one end and a VEX_Port on the other end will not merge. (See the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide for more information on Fiber Channel routing.)
By default, all tunnels are created as VE_Port-to-VE_Port. If you do not want to merge the fabrics, you
must explicitly configure the port at one end of the tunnel to be a VEX_Port before you configure the
tunnel.
See "Configuring FCIP Ports"
configure and enable the ports on both the local and remote switches to utilize an FCIP ISL/IFL.
