MDS to MDS 802.1Q Configuration with FCIP
Available Languages
Contents
Introduction
This document provides a sample configuration for Fibre Channel Over TCP/IP (FCIP) with 802.1Q Multilayer Director Switch (MDS) to MDS.
FCIP describes mechanisms that allow the interconnection of islands of Fibre Channel (FC) storage area networks (SANs) over IP-based networks to form a unified SAN in a single FC fabric. FCIP relies on IP-based network services to provide the connectivity between the SAN islands over local area networks, metropolitan area networks, or wide area networks.
Fibre Channel SANs Connected by FCIP 
FCIP uses Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) on port 3225 as a network layer transport.
Prerequisites
Requirements
The IP backbone must be operational and delivering the required bandwidth to support the applications running across the FCIP links—this could be a Layer 2 (L2) or Layer 3 (L3) topology. If it is a L3 topology, the intermediate routers or multilayer switches must be set up and configured to appropriately forward IP traffic between source and destination IP addresses of the FCIP tunnels. If Quality of Service (QoS)or traffic shaping is enforced at any network device in the path between the FCIP peers, the network manager administrating the IP infrastructure should be consulted to get the necessary details before configuring any TCP-related parameters and features on the Multilayer Director Switch (MDS) FCIP profile(s). The Ethernet switches which are adjacent to the MDSes must support and be configured for 802.1Q trunking if subinterfaces are configured on the MDS IP Storage (IPS) services module.

Background Information
FCIP consists of these specifications:
ANSI T11
-
FC-SW-2 describes the operation and interaction of FC switches including E_Port and fabric operation.
-
FC-BB-2 is a mapping that pertains to the extension of FC switched networks across a TCP network backbone, and defines reference models that support E_Port and B_Port.
IETF IPS Working Group
-
FC over TCP covers the TCP/IP requirements for transporting FC frames over an IP network.
-
FC frame encapsulation defines the common fibre encapsulation format.
IEEE 802 Standards
IEEE 802 LANs of all types may be connected together with MAC Bridges, as specified in ISO/IEC 15802-3. This standard defines the operation of VLAN Bridges that permit the definition, operation, and administration of VLAN topologies within a Bridged LAN infrastructure.
An interconnection between two SAN switches or fabrics across FCIP is called an FCIP link and can contain one or more TCP connections. Each end of a FCIP link is associated with a Virtual E port (VE_port) or a B_port, depending on the implementation. FC-BB and FC-BB-2 are describing the differences between both approaches. The IP services module (DS-X9308-SMIP) is supporting both modes but defaults to VE_Port, which is also the recommended mode to run if all relevant peers are DS-X9308-SMIP modules. The VE_Port functionality on MDS platforms is also supporting TE port functionality, which makes it capable of trunking traffic from multiple virtual SANs (VSANs) across one FCIP instance. The Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces residing aboard the Cisco X9308-SMIP modules support 802.1Q in order to leverage the bandwidth of 1 Gbps between two or more FCIP tunnels in situations where low bandwidth requirements per FCIP tunnel exist. One must understand that sharing bandwidth by using dot1q is not providing deterministic Bandwidth per FCIP tunnel when FCIP Profile TCP parameters are left in default state.
Configure
On the MDSes, you need to familiarize yourself with the IPS configuration guides for both platforms. The most current version of the manuals can be found at Configuring IP Storage on Cisco.com. On the Ethernet switch side, one needs to be familiar with the dot1q trunking configuration specifics. In this particular example, a Catalyst running Hybrid CatOS is deployed; different configuration may apply to other Cisco switches or to switches from other vendors.
For Catalyst 6000 series running hybrid mode, refer to Configuring Ethernet VLAN Trunks. For Native IOS, refer to Configuring VLANs. For Catalyst XL type switches running Native IOS, refer to Configuring VLANs.

Network Diagram
This document uses the network setup shown in the diagram below.
Topology 2 
Topology 2 depicts one FCIP tunnel running across a 802.1Q trunk on either side of the IP cloud. The IP cloud is collapsed into one multilayer switch (Catalyst 6500) which routes traffic from VLAN 1000 to VLAN 500 and from VLAN 500 to VLAN 1000. VLAN 1000 conceptually maps to IP subnet 100.100.100.0/30, and VLAN 500 maps to IP subnet 100.100.100.4/30. The way the MDS maps and retrieves dot1q frames will become clear in the configuration section below. For simplicity, only one FCIP tunnel across one physical interface on both MDSes is defined; in reality, one would only use dot1q trunking to share the bandwidth of one Gigabit interface between multiple FCIP tunnels.

Verify
This section provides information you can use to confirm that your configuration is working properly.
Certain show commands are supported by the Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only) , which allows you to view an analysis of show command output.
-
show interface gig x/y —Displays status of the relevant Gigabit interface bound to the FCIP profile.
-
show ips stats tcp int gig x/y —Displays TCP statistics and active connections for the relevant Gigabit interface.
-
show ips arp int gig x/y —Displays all Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) entries for the relevant Gigabit interface; the next hop or peer should be present in this list.
-
show ips ip route int gig x/y —Displays the specific routes going across the relevant Gigabit interface.
-
show interface fcip x —Displays the FCIP interface status and all details related to this FCIP tunnel.
-
show profile fcip x —Displays the IP address to which the profile is bound and all configured TCP parameters.
-
show int fcip x counters—Used to check if there are any frames going through the FCIP tunnel.
-
show fcdomain vsan x —Lists all domain-related details; used to verify that the fabric is formed across the FCIP tunnel(s).
-
show fcns da vsan x —Displays all pwwn, FC4-Types, and FCIDs of the relevant VSAN; used to verify that all expected entries are distributed across the FCIP tunnel(s).
Note: The dot1q interface acts as a normal physical interface for FCIP. There is no specific requirement to verify proper operation other than the show interface gig x/y.z command where z represents the subinterface. Depending upon the device connected to the local MDS Gigabit interfaces, you must consult the related documentation to verify that interfaces and ports are configured correctly.
Troubleshoot
Be sure to issue the show commands multiple times to build a counter history. Counters that are not related to a point in time and just collected only once are mostly useless.
Use the configurations shown below for more troubleshooting.

Note on Native VLAN Mismatch
Under some conditions, customers may see the native vlan mismatch error message in the system log of the adjacent (Catalyst) Ethernet switch. This indicates an incorrect configuration on the trunkport of those switches. If a subinterface of .1000 is configured on one of the main interfaces on the MDS IP Services module, the adjacent switchport on the Catalyst switch needs to be trunking for that same VLAN ID of 1000. If, for some reason, the Catalyst is running VLAN 1000 as Port VLAN or Native VLAN, then error messages are generated and connectivity is broken, because the dot1q encapsulated frames from the MDS side are not understood by the switch and will be discarded. An example of native vlan mismatch errors is shown below.
