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").
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
