2 Configuration steps Configuring an IP route Routing is based on the destination IP address presented by an FCIP circuit. If the destination address is not on the same subnet as the GbE port IP address, you need to configure an IP route with an IP gateway as the destination, using the portCfg iproute create command. Up to 32 IP routes may be defined for each GbE port. Figure 11 adds an IP route for the basic sample configuration. The following command creates an IP route to destination network 192.168.11.0 for port ge0 on the FX8-24 blade in slot 8 of the Brocade DCX-4S. The route is through local gateway 192.168.1.1. switch:admin> portcfg iproute 8/ge0 create 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 The following command creates an IP route to destination network 192.168.1.0 for port ge0 on the Brocade 7800 switch.

Configuration steps

Configuring an IP route
Routing is based on the destination IP address presented by an FCIP circuit. If the destination
address is not on the same subnet as the GbE port IP address, you need to configure an IP route
with an IP gateway as the destination, using the
portCfg iproute create
command. Up to 32 IP
routes may be defined for each GbE port.
Figure 11
adds an IP route for the basic sample
configuration.
The following command creates an IP route to destination network 192.168.11.0 for port ge0 on
the FX8-24 blade in slot 8 of the Brocade DCX-4S. The route is through local gateway 192.168.1.1.
switch:admin> portcfg iproute 8/ge0 create 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
The following command creates an IP route to destination network 192.168.1.0 for port ge0 on the
Brocade 7800 switch. The route is through local gateway 192.168.11.1. The metric for the route is
0. The metric should be the same on both ends.
switch:admin> portcfg iproute ge0 create 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.11.1

Configuring an IP route
Validating IP connectivity
After you have established the IP interfaces and an IP route, you can issue a
portcmd - -ping
command to verify connectivity.
The following example tests the connectivity between the FX8-24 blade and 7800 switch in the
basic sample configuration from the 7800 switch. The
-s
option specifies the source address, and
the
-d
option specifies the destination address.
switch:admin> portcmd --ping ge0 -s 192.168.11.78 -d 192.168.1.24
