FICON® CUP FCIP Tunneling Enables IBM host-based management programs to manage FICON fabric switches in-band by sending commands to the Fabric OS emulated control device. The optional Fibre Channel over Internet protocol (FCIP) Tunneling Service enables Fibre Channel frames to "tunnel" through IP networks by dividing frames, encapsulating the result in IP packets on entering the tunnel, and then reconstructing them as they leave the tunnel. Fabric OS supports eight FCIP interswitch links between two Brocade switches (Brocade 7500 or Brocade 48000 with a FR4-18i blade) or routes. All 16 links can be used as FCIP links with the remaining links going to other routers. OTHER INDUSTRY RESOURCES For additional resource information, visit the Technical Committee T11 Web site.
