Creating Tunnels

Each Gigabit Ethernet interface can have 3 active FCIP tunnels on it at one time.

To create these tunnels, do the following:

  1. Be sure you are connected to a switch that contains an IPS module.
  2. Open Device Manager.
  3. Select FCIP from the IP menu.
  4. Click the Tunnels tab if it is not already selected. The FCIP Tunnels dialog is displayed.

    This table lists the remote IP address of the interface together with optional attributes.

  5. Click the Create button. The Create FCIP Tunnels dialog is displayed.
  6. Enter the entity ID in the ID field.
  7. Enter a remote IP address as the endpoint to which you want to link.
  8. Enter all the optional information, if desired.
  9. When finished, click Create to add this tunnel to the table. Click Close to exit the Create FCIP Tunnels dialog without adding the tunnel.
