By default, this feature is disabled in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. The configuration and verification commands for the FCIP feature are only available when FCIP is enabled on a switch. When you disable this feature, all related configurations are automatically discarded. To use the FCIP feature, you need to obtain the SAN extension over IP package license (SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP or SAN_EXTN_OVER_IP_IPS4) (see Chapter 3, "Obtaining and Installing Licenses"). To enable FCIP on any participating switch, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Command switch# config t switch(config)# fcip enable switch(config)# no fcip enable Purpose Enters configuration mode. Enables FCIP on that switch. Disables (default) FCIP on that switch. Note If FICON is enabled/FICON VSAN is present on both the switches, the Figure 40-15 is displayed, otherwise Figure 40-14 is displayed. Basic FCIP Configuration To configure an FCIP link, follow these steps on both switches: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Configure the Gigabit Ethernet interface. See the Chapter 45, "Configuring IPv4 for Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces." Create an FCIP profile, and then assign the Gigabit Ethernet interface's IP address to the profile. Create an FCIP interface, and then assign the profile to the interface. Configure the peer IP address for the FCIP interface. Enable the interface. 40-8 Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide OL-16184-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
