Send documentation comments to [email protected] 46 C H A P T E R Configuring IPv4 for Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces Cisco MDS 9000 Family supports IP version 4 (IPv4) on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. This chapter describes how to configure IPv4 addresses and other IPv4 features. This chapter includes the following topics: • About IPv4, page 46-1 • Basic Gigabit Ethernet Configuration for IPv4, page 46-2 • Verifying Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity, page 46-4 • VLANs, page 46-5 • Configuring Static IPv4 Routing, page 46-7 • IPv4-ACLs, page 46-7 • ARP Cache, page 46-8 • Displaying IPv4 Statistics, page 46-9 • Default Settings, page 46-10 About IPv4 Both FCIP and iSCSI rely on TCP/IP for network connectivity. On each IPS module or MPS-14/2 module, connectivity is provided in the form of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that are appropriately configured. This section covers the steps required to configure IP for subsequent use by FCIP and iSCSI. Note For information about configuring FCIP, see Chapter 41, "Configuring FCIP." For information about configuring iSCSI, see Chapter 43, "Configuring iSCSI." A new port mode, called IPS, is defined for Gigabit Ethernet ports on each IPS module or MPS-14/2 module. IP storage ports are implicitly set to IPS mode, so it can only be used to perform iSCSI and FCIP storage functions. IP storage ports do not bridge Ethernet frames or route other IP packets. Each IPS port represents a single virtual Fibre Channel host in the Fibre Channel SAN. All the iSCSI hosts connected to this IPS port are merged and multiplexed through the single Fibre Channel host. In large scale iSCSI deployments where the Fibre Channel storage subsystems require explicit LUN access control for every host device, use of proxy-initiator mode simplifies the configuration.

Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide

OL-18084-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x

Configuring IPv4 for Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces

Cisco MDS 9000 Family supports IP version 4 (IPv4) on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. This chapter

describes how to configure IPv4 addresses and other IPv4 features.

This chapter includes the following topics:

•

About IPv4, page 46-1

•

Basic Gigabit Ethernet Configuration for IPv4, page 46-2

•

Verifying Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity, page 46-4

•

VLANs, page 46-5

•

Configuring Static IPv4 Routing, page 46-7

•

IPv4-ACLs, page 46-7

•

ARP Cache, page 46-8

•

Displaying IPv4 Statistics, page 46-9

•

Default Settings, page 46-10

About IPv4

Both FCIP and iSCSI rely on TCP/IP for network connectivity. On each IPS module or MPS-14/2

module, connectivity is provided in the form of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that are appropriately

configured. This section covers the steps required to configure IP for subsequent use by FCIP and iSCSI.

Note

For information about configuring FCIP, see

Chapter 41, “Configuring FCIP.”

configuring iSCSI, see

Chapter 43, “Configuring iSCSI.”

A new port mode, called IPS, is defined for Gigabit Ethernet ports on each IPS module or MPS-14/2

module. IP storage ports are implicitly set to IPS mode, so it can only be used to perform iSCSI and FCIP

storage functions. IP storage ports do not bridge Ethernet frames or route other IP packets.

Each IPS port represents a single virtual Fibre Channel host in the Fibre Channel SAN. All the iSCSI

hosts connected to this IPS port are merged and multiplexed through the single Fibre Channel host.

In large scale iSCSI deployments where the Fibre Channel storage subsystems require explicit LUN

access control for every host device, use of proxy-initiator mode simplifies the configuration.
