Creating An Fcip Tunnel; Verifying The Fcip Tunnel Configuration On The Brocade Fr4-18I - Brocade Communications Systems Brocade 6505 Administrator's Manual

Creating an FCIP tunnel

After you have verified licensing and connectivity between source and destination IP interfaces, you
can configure FCIP tunnels. As you plan the tunnel configurations, be aware that uncommitted rate
tunnels use a minimum of 1000 Kbps, up to a maximum of available uncommitted bandwidth on
the GbE port. The total bandwidth available on a GbE port is 1 Gbps. You can configure tunnels as
bidirectional entities with different commit rates in both directions.
NOTE
You cannot create FCIP tunnels that connect to a Brocade Multiprotocol Router Model AP7420.
Create an FCIP tunnel using the portCfg fciptunnel command. Following is the general syntax for
this command:
portCfg fciptunnel [slot/]ge0|ge1 create tunnel_id remote_ip_addr local_ip_addr
comm_rate[-b] [-c] [-s] [-f] [-t] [-M] [-n remote_wwn] [-k timeout] [-r
retransmissions] [-m time] [-q control_dscp] [-Q data_dscp] [-v vlan_id] [-p
control_L2CoS] [-P data_L2CoS] [-ike ike_number] [-ipsec ipsec_number] [-key
preshared_key] [-d description]
Refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual for command syntax and details on using this
command. Command syntax and arguments are different for the 7800 switch, FR4-18i blade, and
FX8-24 blade.
1. Connect tothe switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Create an FCIP tunnel using the portCfg fciptunnel command. The command syntax is as
Example of creating an FCIP tunnel
The following example creates one end of a tunnel over ge0 between remote IP address
192.168.10.1 and local IP address 192.168.20.1 with a tunnel id of 0, over VLAN 100, with a layer
2 class of service of 3 for control traffic (-p 3 operand), and a layer 2 class of service of 7 (-P 7
operand) for data traffic.
portcfg fciptunnel 8/ge0 create 2 192.168.10.1 192.168.20.1 0 -v 100 -p 3 -P 7
Example of creating an FCIP tunnel with FastWrite and OSTP enabled
The following example creates an FCIP tunnel with FastWrite (-f operand) and OSTP (-t operand)
enabled.
switch:admin> portcfg fciptunnel ge1 create 1 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.201 0 -f -t

Verifying the FCIP tunnel configuration on the Brocade FR4-18i

After you have created local and remote FCIP configurations, it is recommended that you verify that
the tunnel configuration operation succeeded using the portShow fcipTunnel command (be sure to
specify the slot/port numbers and the tunnel IDs).
Refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual for detailed command syntax and output
examples for this command.
