portCfg 2 NOTES OPERANDS You can configure up to 20 FCIP tunnels on the Brocade FX8-24 and up to 8 tunnels on the Brocade 7800. This command has the following operands: slot For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured, followed by a slash (/). ve_port Specifies the number of the VE_Port associated with the tunnel configured on one of the GbE/10GbE ports to be configured. The VE_Ports are numbered 16-23 on the Brocade 7800. fciptunnel Creates, modifies, or deletes a Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) tunnel. Note the following port mapping rules on the Brocade FX8-24: The Brocade FX8-24 has two FCIP chips and each one controls specific GbE ports and VE ports. The first FCIP chip controls VE_Ports 12-21, and the GbE ports ge0-ge9 and the local XGE port, xge1. The second FCIP chip controls VE_Ports 22-31 and the local XGE port, xge0. Typically (that is in the case when you do not configure a failover crossport) you use the IP addresses on ge0-ge9 and xge1 for any FCIP circuits that use VE_Ports 12-21. And likewise, you use IP addresses on xge0 for any FCIP circuits that use VE_Ports 22-31. When you configure a failover crossport, the VE_Ports on one chip are allowed to use the IP addresses on the non-local chip's XGE port (crossport). The syntax for portcfg fciptunnel is as follows: portcfg fciptunnel [slot/]ve_port options [tunnel_arguments] [circuit_arguments] The following options are supported with fciptunnel: create [tunnel_arguments][circuit_arguments] Creates an FCIP tunnel and, optionally a single default circuit. If no circuit arguments are specified, no FCIP circuit will be created. While it is possible to create a tunnel without a default circuit, it is an unlikely scenario (for example, for configuration staging purposes). In most cases, you will create a tunnel with at least one configured FCIP circuit. In this case, you must specify a remote and local IP address for the circuit as well as a committed rate (or alternately, a minimum and maximum committed rate) to configure the default circuit. The default circuit created with the tunnel is automatically assigned the circuit ID 0. You can modify the default circuit with the fciptunnel modify command. To add additional circuits to an existing tunnel, use the fcipcircuit create command. modify [tunnel_arguments][circuit_arguments] Modifies the properties of an existing FCIP tunnel. To modify a tunnel, you must specify at least one of the tunnel or circuit parameters for the command to be effective. Any circuit attribute you change with the fciptunnel modify command affects only the FCIP circuit 0. All other circuits remain unchanged. To modify a circuit other than circuit 0, you must use the fcipcircuit modify command. In order to create a default circuit 0 with the tunnel, you must at least specify the following circuit arguments with fciptunnel create: remote_ip_address Specifies the IP address for the remote end of the FCIP circuit. local_ip_address Specifies the IP address for the local end of the FCIP circuit.
