•
VLAN ID—Provides a dialog box that enables the user to define the VLAN ID (available
only when VLAN is enabled). The VLAN ID must be the same on both routers participating
in the FCIP route (local and remote routers must also be using the same VLAN ID) and
the Ethernet switches.
•
VLAN Priority—Provides a dialog box that contains eight options for the VLAN priority,
0 through 7. This dialog box is available only when VLAN is enabled.

The following parameters are configured:
•
FCIP SW Compression—Provides a dialog box for enabling and disabling FCIP
compression. The default is Disabled.
•
Bandwidth (Mbit/sec)—Provides a dialog box that enables the user to define the maximum
bandwidth (in Mb/s) used by the GigE port during transmits. The range of values supported
is 1 to 1,000 Mb/s. This setting enables the user to limit the bandwidth used by each
FCIP route so as to not consume all the available link bandwidth.
For example, if the slowest link in the WAN being used is a DS-3 link, then the maximum
available bandwidth is 45 Mb/s. To limit the FCIP route to 33% of the overall link
bandwidth, set the bandwidth to 15 Mb/s.
HP replication solutions require dedicated bandwidth for the intersite link. If other
applications share the intersite link, some method of QoS must be used to ensure that the
replication application has uncontested access to the allocated bandwidth.
11. After setting the FCIP parameters, click Next to continue or Cancel to exit the wizard.
12. Enter the administrator password in the Security Check dialog box (
), and
then click OK to confirm the addition of the FCIP route.
