3 FCIP services configuration guidelines FCIP services configuration guidelines There are multiple configuration requirements and options associated with FCIP services. The following general guidelines may be helpful. The steps are presented in an order that minimizes the number of times ports need to be disabled and enabled. In practice, the steps do not have to be taken in this order. 1. Determine if you are implementing IPsec. IPsec configuration may be done at any time, but defining IPsec policies first ensures that they will be available when FCIP tunnels are configured. Refer to "IPsec configuration" for specific instructions. 2. Determine which FCIP tunnel you want to configure. Each FCIP tunnel is associated with a specific virtual port, and a specific Ethernet port, as shown in Table 7. For example, if you want to configure FCIP tunnel 0, you need to configure virtual port 16, and define an IP interface and one or more IP routes over ge0. 3. Persistently disable the VE_ports before you configure them. Ports on a new Brocade 7500 Extension Switch or FR4-18i blade are persistently disabled by default. On a Brocade 7500 Extension Switch or FC4-18i blade that has already been installed and configured, check the EX_Port status using the portCfgShow command, and persistently disable the ports using the portCfgPersistentDisable command before you configure them. Refer to "Setting persistently disabled ports" for a description. 4. Determine if any of the virtual ports should be VEX_Ports, and configure them using the portCfgVEXPort command. Refer to "Configuring VEX_Ports" for specific instructions. 5. Create an IP interface using the portCfg ipif command. Refer to "Creating IP interfaces and routes" for specific instructions. 6. Create one or more IP routes using the portCfg iproute command. Refer to "Creating IP interfaces and routes" for specific instructions. 7. If you are implementing VLAN tagging, create a static ARP entry for the IP interface using the portCfg arp command. Refer to "Creating IP interfaces and routes" for specific instructions. 8. Test the IP connection using the portCmd --ping command. Refer to "Creating IP interfaces and routes" for specific instructions. 9. Create an FCIP tunnel using the portCfg fciptunnel command. Refer to "Creating an FCIP tunnel" on page 61 for specific instructions. 10. If you are implementing FICON emulation, configure FICON emulation using the portCfg ficon command. Refer to the Fabric OS FICON Administrator's Guide for specific instructions. 11. If you are implementing FTRACE, configure FTRACE using the portCfg ftrace command. 12. Check the configuration to ensure that the parameters are correct using the portShow fciptunnel command. 13. Persistently enable the VE_ports using the portCfgPersistentEnable command. 14. Create the same configuration on the Brocade 7500 Extension Switch or FC4-18i blade at the other end of the tunnel. 56 Fabric OS FCIP Administrator's Guide 53-1001766-01

FCIP services configuration guidelines
There are multiple configuration requirements and options associated with FCIP services. The
following general guidelines may be helpful. The steps are presented in an order that minimizes the
number of times ports need to be disabled and enabled. In practice, the steps do not have to be
taken in this order.
1.
Determine if you are implementing IPsec.
IPsec configuration may be done at any time, but defining IPsec policies first ensures that they
will be available when FCIP tunnels are configured. Refer to
“IPsec configuration”
for specific
instructions.
2.
Determine which FCIP tunnel you want to configure.
Each FCIP tunnel is associated with a specific virtual port, and a specific Ethernet port, as
shown in
Table 7
. For example, if you want to configure FCIP tunnel 0, you need to configure
virtual port 16, and define an IP interface and one or more IP routes over ge0.
3.
Persistently disable the VE_ports before you configure them.
Ports on a new Brocade 7500 Extension Switch or FR4-18i blade are persistently disabled by
default. On a Brocade 7500 Extension Switch or FC4-18i blade that has already been installed
and configured, check the EX_Port status using the
portCfgShow
command, and persistently
disable the ports using the
portCfgPersistentDisable
command before you configure them.
Refer to
“Setting persistently disabled ports”
for a description.
4.
Determine if any of the virtual ports should be VEX_Ports, and configure them using the
portCfgVEXPort
command. Refer to
“Configuring VEX_Ports”
for specific instructions.
5.
Create an IP interface using the
portCfg ipif
command. Refer to
“Creating IP interfaces and
routes”
for specific instructions.
6.
Create one or more IP routes using the
portCfg iproute
command. Refer to
“Creating IP
interfaces and routes”
for specific instructions.
7.
If you are implementing VLAN tagging, create a static ARP entry for the IP interface using the
portCfg arp
command. Refer to
“Creating IP interfaces and routes”
for specific instructions.
8.
Test the IP connection using the
portCmd
--
ping
command. Refer to
“Creating IP interfaces
and routes”
for specific instructions.
9.
Create an FCIP tunnel using the
portCfg fciptunnel
command. Refer to
“Creating an FCIP
tunnel”
on page 61 for specific instructions.
10.
If you are implementing FICON emulation, configure FICON emulation using the
portCfg ficon
command. Refer to the
Fabric OS FICON Administrator’s Guide
for specific instructions.
11.
If you are implementing FTRACE, configure FTRACE using the
portCfg ftrace
command.
12.
Check the configuration to ensure that the parameters are correct using the
portShow
fciptunnel
command.
13.
Persistently enable the VE_ports using the
portCfgPersistentEnable
command.
14.
Create the same configuration on the Brocade 7500 Extension Switch or FC4-18i blade at the
other end of the tunnel.
