7800 switch license options 2 VE_Ports and FCIP tunnels on the 7800 switch A 7800 switch can support eight VE_Ports. VE_Ports are numbered from 16 to 23. Each FCIP tunnel is identified with a VE_port number. Up to eight FCIP tunnels may be created. The 7800 switch supports VEX_ports to avoid the need to merge fabrics. FCIP trunking capacity on the 7800 switch FCIP trunks are built by creating a set of FCIP circuits. FCIP circuits create multiple source and destination addresses for routing traffic over a WAN, providing load leveling and failover capabilities over FCIP tunnels. When the 7800 upgrade license and advanced extension license are activated, The FCIP trunking capacity is as follows: • The maximum trunk capacity is 4 Gbps. • Up to eight IP interfaces may be defined per GbE port. This places a hard limit of eight FCIP circuits per GbE port, because each circuit requires a unique ip address. • You can only define up to four FCIP circuits per tunnel. These circuits can be on any of the GbE ports. • A single FCIP circuit cannot exceed 1 Gbps capacity. Fabric OS FCIP Administrator's Guide 7 53-1001766-01
