FUNCTION

Configure IP interfaces on the Brocade 7800 switch and FX8-24 blade

SYNOPSIS

portcfg action [slot/] ge_port arguments

DESCRIPTION

Use this command to configure the local IP interfaces and static routes on the Brocade 7800 switch and
on the Brocade FX8-24 blade. You must configure the local IP interfaces before you can create and
configure FCIP tunnels. You can also create a VLAN configuration at the IP interface on the Brocade
7800/FX8-24.

portcfg ipif - Configure the local IP interfaces.

portcfg iproute - Configure a static route on the IP interface.

portcfg vlantag - Manage the IP interface VLAN configuration for FCIP.

OPERANDS

This command has the following operands:

slot

For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).

ge_port

Specifies the number of the GbE port to be configured. The GbE ports are
numbered ge0 - ge9 on the Brocade FX8-24 blade and ge0 - ge5 on the Brocade
7800 switch. The two 10GbE ports on the Brocade FX8-24 blade are numbered
xge0 and xge1. Use the switchShow command for a list of valid ports.

ipif

Defines the IP interface for both ports of a tunnel.

On the Brocade 7800 and FX8-24, up to eight IP interfaces per GbE port are
supported, but only 4 FCIP circuits can be configured on a single GbE port. Up to
10 IP interfaces and 10 FCIP circuits are supported on the 10GbE port. In Fabric
OS v7.0.0 and later, these circuits are not limited to a single 10GbE port. Rather,
they can be distributed across both 10GbE ports.

The IP network connection is configured by defining IP interfaces for origin and
destination virtual ports, and then defining one or more IP routes to connect them.
The syntax for portCfg ipif is as follows:

portcfg ipif [slot/]ge_port option args [optional_args]

Valid options and arguments for ipif include the following:

create src_ipaddr [netmask] mtu_size

Creates IP interfaces. Specify the following:

src_ipaddr

Specifies source IP address in either IPv6 or IPv4 format:

src_IPv6_addr/prefix_len

Specifies the source IPv6 address of the virtual port if IPv6 is used. The
address must be an IPv6 global, unicast address, followed by a prefix. This is
used for IPv6 addresses instead of a netmask. The prefix_len operator is
required. Refer to the Fibre Channel over IP Administrator's Guide for more
information on IPv6 rules and restrictions.

src_IPv4_addr netmask

Specifies the source IPv4 address of the virtual port, if IPv4 is used. If an IPv4
address is used, the subnet mask must be specified as well (in a.b.c.d.
format.)
