Chapter 44 Configuring IP Services IPFC Send documentation comments to [email protected] Step 2 Command switch(config)# ip default-network 190.10.1.0 switch(config)# ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 131.108.3.4 switch(config)# ip default-network 10.0.0.0 Purpose Configures the IPv4 address for the default network (190.10.1.0). Defines a static route to network 10.0.0.0 as the static default route. IPFC IPFC provides IP forwarding or in-band switch management over a Fibre Channel interface (rather than out-of-band using the Gigabit Ethernet mgmt 0 interface). You can be use IPFC to specify that IP frames can be transported over Fibre Channel using encapsulation techniques. IP frames are encapsulated into Fibre Channel frames so NMS information can cross the Fibre Channel network without using an overlay Ethernet network. Once the VSAN interface is created, you can specify the IP address for that VSAN. You can assign an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address. Note See the Chapter 47, "Configuring IPv6 for Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces" for information about configuring IPv6 on the Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches. This topic includes the following sections: • IPFC Configuration Guidelines, page 44-6 • Configuring an IPv4 Address in a VSAN, page 44-7 • Verifying the VSAN Interface Configuration, page 44-7 • Enabling IPv4 Routing, page 44-7 • Verifying the IPv4 Routing Configuration, page 44-7 • IPFC Configuration Example, page 44-8 IPFC Configuration Guidelines Follow these guidelines to configure IPFC: 1. Create the VSAN to use for in-band management, if necessary. 2. Configure an IPv4 address and subnet mask for the VSAN interface. 3. Enable IPv4 routing. 4. Verify connectivity. 44-6 Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide OL-18084-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
