Peer IP Address

The basic FCIP configuration uses the peer's IP address to configure the peer information. You can also
specify the peer's port number to configure the peer information. If you do not specify a port, the default
3225 port number is used to establish connection. You can specify an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address.
To assign the peer information based on the IPv4 address and port number, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch(config-if)# peer-info ipaddr 10.1.1.1
switch(config-if)# no peer-info ipaddr
10.10.1.1
Step 2
switch(config-if)# peer-info ipaddr 10.1.1.1
port 3000
switch(config-if)# no peer-info ipaddr
10.1.1.1 port 3000
Step 3
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
To assign the peer information based on the IPv6 address and port number, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch(config-if)# peer-info ipaddr
switch(config-if)# no peer-info ipaddr
2001:0db8:800:200c::417a
Step 2
switch(config-if)# peer-info ipaddr
2001:0db8:800:200c::417a port 3000
switch(config-if)# no peer-info ipaddr
2001:0db8:800:200c::417a port 3000
Step 3
switch(config-if)# ipv6 enable
Step 4
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Special Frames
You can alternatively establish an FCIP link with a peer using an optional protocol called special frames.
When special frames are enabled, the peer IP address (and optionally the port or the profile ID) only
needs to be configured on one end of the link. Once the connection is established, a special frame is
exchanged to discover and authenticate the link.
OL-16184-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
Peer IP address—Configures both ends of the FCIP link. Optionally, you can also use the peer TCP
port along with the IP address.
Special frames—Configures one end of the FCIP link when security gateways are present in the IP
network. Optionally, you can also use the switch WWN (sWWN) and profile ID along with the IP
address.
Purpose
Assigns an IPv4 address to configure the peer
information. Because no port is specified, the
default port number (3225) is used.
Deletes the assigned peer port information.
Assigns the IPv4 address and sets the peer TCP
port to 3000. The valid port number range is 0
to 65535.
Deletes the assigned peer port information.
Enables the interface.
Purpose
Assigns an IPv6 address to configure the peer
information. Because no port is specified, the
default port number (3225) is used.
Deletes the assigned peer port information.
Assigns the IPv6 address and sets the peer TCP
port to 3000. The valid port number range is 0
to 65535.
Deletes the assigned peer port information.
Enables IPv6 processing on the interface.
Enables the interface.
