portcfg fciptunnel - Create, modify, and delete Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) tunnels.

-

Configure a tunnel with the FCIP FastWrite feature.

-

Enable or disable Tape Pipelining.

-

Configure the compression options.

-

Configure an IPSec-enabled tunnel (Brocade 7800 only).

-

Configure VLAN tagging on the default FCIP circuit.

-

Configure Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) markings.

-

Set the committed rate or minimum and maximum rates for the default circuit.

-

Configure a tunnel for FICON emulation.

portcfg fcipcircuit - Create, modify, and delete additional FCIP circuits.

-

Set or modify the committed rate or minimum and maximum rates for the circuit.

-

Configure or change VLAN tagging on the default circuit.

-

Set or modify additional circuit parameters.

Note

In the Fabric OS v6.3.0 and later, you can configure up to 20 FCIP tunnels on the Brocade FX8-24
and up to 8 tunnels on the Brocade 7800.

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 (/).

ve_port

Specifies the number of the VE_Port associated with the tunnel configured on
one of the GbE/10GbE ports to be configured. The VE_Ports are numbered
16-23 on the Brocade 7800 and 12-31 on the Brocade FX8-24 blade.

fciptunnel

Creates, modifies, or deletes a Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) tunnel.

Note the following port mapping restriction on the Brocade FX8-24: The
Brocade FX8-24 has two FCIP chips and each one controls specific GbE ports
and VE ports. The first FCIP chip controls VE_Ports 12-21, and the GbE ports
ge0-ge9 and xge1. The second FCIP chip controls VE_Ports 22-31 and xge0.
You can only use IP addresses on ge0-ge9 and xge1 for any FCIP circuits that
use VE_Ports 12-21. And likewise, you can only use IP addresses on xge0 for
any FCIP circuits that use VE_Ports 22-31.

The syntax for portcfg fciptunnel is as follows:

portcfg fciptunnel [slot/]ve_port options [tunnel_arguments]
[circuit_arguments]

The following options are supported with fciptunnel:

create [tunnel_arguments] [circuit_arguments]

Creates an FCIP tunnel and, optionally a single default circuit. If no circuit
arguments are specified, no FCIP circuit will be created. While it is possible to
create a tunnel without a default circuit, it is an unlikely scenario (for
example, for configuration staging purposes). In most cases, you will create a
tunnel with at least one configured FCIP circuit. In this case, you must specify
a remote and local IP address for the circuit as well as a committed rate (or
alternately, a minimum and maximum committed rate) to configure the
