Configuring Peers

To establish an FCIP link with the peer, you can use one of two options:
•
•

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 using Fabric Manager, follow
these steps:
Step 1 Expand ISLs and select FCIP in the Physical Attributes pane.
You see the FCIP profiles and links in the Information pane.
From Device manager, choose IP >
You see the FCIP dialog box.
Step 2 Click the Tunnels tab.You see the FCIP link information.
Step 3 Click the Create Row icon in Fabric Manager or the Create button in Device Manager.

Set the ProfileID and TunnelID fields.
Step 4
Set the RemoteIPAddress and RemoteTCPPort fields for the peer IP address you are configuring.
Step 5
Check the PassiveMode check box if you do not want this end of the link to initiate a TCP connection.
Step 6
(Optional) Set the NumTCPCon field to the number of TCP connections from this FCIP link.
Step 7
(Optional) Check the Enable check box in the Time Stamp section and set the Tolerance field.
Step 8
(Optional) Set the other fields in this dialog box and click Create to create this FCIP link.
