Creating FCIP Links

When two FCIP link endpoints are created, an FCIP link is established between the two IPS modules or
MPS-14/2 modules. To create an FCIP link, assign a profile to the FCIP interface and configure the peer
information. The peer IP switch information initiates (creates) an FCIP link to that peer switch (see

Verifying Interfaces and Extended Link Protocol

To verify the FCIP interfaces and Extended Link Protocol (ELP) on Device Manager, follow these steps:
Make sure you are connected to a switch that contains an IPS module.
Step 1
Select FCIP from the Interface menu.
Step 2
Click the Interfaces tab if it is not already selected. You see the FCIP Interfaces dialog box.
