Creating an FCIP tunnel 3 -q type-of-service The DiffServ QoS. The default is 0 (zero). The value must be an integer in the range from 0 through 255. -t ttl The time to live. The default value is 100. -v vlan tag The vlan tag for a VLAN tagged IP connection. -w wait-time The time to wait for the response of each ping request. This parameter is specified in milliseconds and the default value is 5000 milliseconds (5 sec). The maximum allowed wait time for ping is 29000 milliseconds (29 sec). -z size The size in bytes of the ping packet to use. The total size cannot be greater than the configured MTU size (refer to step 1). The default size is 64 bytes. The following example tests the connection between 192.175.5.100 and 192.175.5.200, switch:admin06> portcmd --ping ge0 -s 192.175.5.100 -d 192.175.5.200 Pinging 192.175.5.200 from ip interface 192.175.5.100 on 0/ge0 with 64 bytes of data Reply from 192.175.5.200: bytes=64 rtt=1ms ttl=64 Reply from 192.175.5.200: bytes=64 rtt=0ms ttl=64 Reply from 192.175.5.200: bytes=64 rtt=0ms ttl=64 Reply from 192.175.5.200: bytes=64 rtt=1ms ttl=64 Ping Statistics for 192.175.5.200: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Loss = 0 (0 percent loss) Min RTT = 0ms, Max RTT = 1ms Average = 0ms 5. Test end-to-end IP path performance using WAN analysis tools (optional, may be done at any time). Refer to for specific information and instructions. NOTE The general recommendation is to run ipPerf only when there are no active tunnels on the IP network For more information, refer to "The ipperf option" on page 75. Creating an FCIP tunnel After you have verified licensing and connectivity between source and destination IP interfaces, you can configure FCIP tunnels. As you plan the tunnel configurations, be aware that uncommitted rate tunnels use a minimum of 1000 Kbps, up to a maximum of available uncommitted bandwidth on the GbE port. The total bandwidth available on a GbE port is 1 Gbps. You can configure tunnels as bidirectional entities with different commit rates in both directions. NOTE You cannot create FCIP tunnels that connect to a Brocade Multiprotocol Router Model AP7420. 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Create an FCIP tunnel using the portCfg fciptunnel command. The command syntax is as follows. Fabric OS FCIP Administrator's Guide 61 53-1001766-01
