Configuring Peer Information
The basic FCIP configuration uses the peer's IP address to configure the peer information. You can also specify the peer's port number to configure the peer information. If you do not specify a port, the default 3225 port number is used to establish connection. You can specify an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address.
To assign the peer information based on the IPv4 address and port number using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
From Device manager, choose IP > FCIP.
- Click the Tunnels tab. You see the FCIP link information.
- Click the Create Row icon in Fabric Manager or the Create button in Device Manager.
- Set the ProfileID and TunnelID fields.
- Set the RemoteIPAddress and RemoteTCPPort fields for the peer IP address you are configuring.
- Check the PassiveMode check box if you do not want this end of the link to initiate a TCP connection.
- Optionally set the NumTCPCon field to the number of TCP connections from this FCIP link.
- Optionally, check the Enable check box in the Time Stamp section and set the Tolerance field.
- Optionally set the other fields in this dialog box and click Create to create this FCIP link.
To assign the peer information based on the IPv6 address and port number using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
From Device manager, choose IP > FCIP. You see the FCIP dialog box.
- Click the Tunnels tab. You see the FCIP link information.
- Click the Create Row icon in Fabric Manager or the Create button in Device Manager.
- Set the ProfileID and TunnelID fields.
- Set the RemoteIPAddress and RemoteTCPPort fields for the peer IP address you are configuring.
- Check the PassiveMode check box if you do not want this end of the link to initiate a TCP connection.
- Optionally set the NumTCPCon field to the number of TCP connections from this FCIP link.
- Optionally, check the Enable check box in the Time Stamp section and set the Tolerance field.
- Optionally set the other fields in this dialog box and click Create to create this FCIP link.
To enable special frames using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
From Device manager, choose IP > FCIP. You see the FCIP dialog box.
- Click the Tunnels tab. You see the FCIP link information.
- Click the Create Row icon in Fabric Manager or the Create button in Device Manager.
- Set the ProfileID and TunnelID fields.
- Set the RemoteIPAddress and RemoteTCPPort fields for the peer IP address you are configuring.
- Check the PassiveMode check box if you do not want this end of the link to initiate a TCP connection.
- Optionally set the NumTCPCon field to the number of TCP connections from this FCIP link.
- Check the Enable check box in the Special Frames section of the dialog box and set the RemoteWWN and the RemoteProfileID fields.
- Optionally set the other fields in this dialog box and click Create to create this FCIP link.
