VE_Ports and FCIP tunnels on the 7800 switch
A 7800 switch can support eight VE_Ports. VE_Ports are numbered from 16 to 23. Each FCIP
tunnel is identified with a VE_port number. Up to eight FCIP tunnels may be created. The 7800
switch supports VEX_ports to avoid the need to merge fabrics.
FCIP trunking capacity on the 7800 switch
FCIP trunks are built by creating a set of FCIP circuits. FCIP circuits create multiple source and
destination addresses for routing traffic over a WAN, providing load leveling and failover
capabilities over FCIP tunnels. When the 7800 upgrade license and advanced extension license
are activated, The FCIP trunking capacity is as follows:
•
The maximum trunk capacity is 4 Gbps.
•
Up to eight IP interfaces may be defined per GbE port. This places a hard limit of eight FCIP
circuits per GbE port, because each circuit requires a unique ip address.
•
You can only define up to four FCIP circuits per tunnel. These circuits can be on any of the GbE
ports.
•
A single FCIP circuit cannot exceed 1 Gbps capacity.
