By default, this feature is disabled in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. The configuration and verification operations 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 10, "Obtaining and Installing Licenses"). Using the FCIP Wizard Note In Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.0 and later NX-OS, there is an additional login prompt to log into a switch that is not a part of your existing fabric. To create and manage FCIP links with Fabric Manager, use the FCIP Wizard. Make sure that the the IP services module is inserted in the required Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch, and that the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on these switches are connected and then the verify the connectivity. The procedures for creating FCIP links using the FCIP Wizard are as follows: • Select the endpoints. • Choose the interfaces' IP addresses. • Specify link attributes. • Optionally enable FCIP write acceleration or FCIP compression. To create FCIP links using the FCIP Wizard, follow these steps: Step 1 Click the FCIP Wizard icon in the Fabric Manager toolbar.
