The following example configures a port as a VEX_Port for slot number 8 in port number 18, enables admin, and specifies fabric ID 2 and preferred Domain ID 220: switch:admin06> portcfgvexport 8/18 -a 1 -f 2 -d 220 Configuring IP interfaces and IP routes The IP network connection between two 400 Multi-protocol Router or two FR4-18i blades is configured by defining IP interfaces for origin and destination virtual ports, and then defining one or more IP routes to connect them. 1. Define the IP interface of each virtual port, using the portCfg command. You can define up to eight IP interfaces per GbE port. The command syntax is as follows. portcfg ipif [slot/]ge0|ge1 create ipaddr netmask mtu_size Where: slot The number of a slot in a 4/256 SAN Director or DC Director chassis that contains an FR4-18i blade. This parameter does not apply to the stand-alone 400 Multi-protocol Router. ge0|ge1 The Ethernet port used by the tunnel (ge0 or ge1). ipaddr The IP address of the virtual port. netmask The network mask. mtu_size The maximum transmission unit size. The range allowed is 1500 to 2284 KB. The default value is 1500 KB, which is the normal value in an Ethernet network. Some networks support jumbo packets (packets larger than 1500 KB). If the network you are using supports jumbo packets, a value of 2284 can improve performance. By default, the virtual ports will automatically become VE_Ports. 2. Define IP routes on a GbE port. After defining the IP interface of the remote switch, you can define destination routes on an interface. You can specify a maximum of 32 routes per GbE port. The command syntax is as follows. portcfg iproute [slot/]ge0|ge1 create ipaddr netmask gateway_router metric Where: slot The number of a slot in a 4/256 SAN Director or DC Director chassis that contains an FR4-18i blade. This parameter does not apply to the stand-alone 400 Multi-protocol Router. ge0|ge1 The Ethernet port used by the tunnel (ge0 or ge1). ipaddr The IP address of the destination virtual port. netmask i The network mask. gateway_router The IP address of an IP router that can route packets to the destination virtual port IP address. The gateway address must be on the same IP subnet as one of the port IP addresses. metric A number from 1 to 16 that assigns a cost value to a route. A route that has only one hop has a low cost value, and should be assigned a cost value of 1. Routes with low cost values are chosen first. The metric number is sometimes used to indicate the actual number of hops, but it is used only as a relative value. A low value encourages the use of the route, and a high value discourages the use of a route. The following example shows two routes being added to an interface: switch:admin06> portcfg iproute 8/ge0 create 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.1 1 switch:admin06> portcfg iproute 8/ge0 create 192.168.12.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.1 1 392 Configuring and monitoring FCIP extension services
