Adding an FCIP circuit

When adding a new FCIP tunnel, you can add an FCIP circuit by selecting the Add button to the right

of the Circuits properties table on the Add FCIP Tunnel dialog box (Figure 288 on page 648). For 8

Gbps platforms, you can add multiple FCIP circuits to the tunnel with this button.

Add circuits to existing FCIP tunnels through the Edit FCIP Tunnel dialog box. To display this dialog

box, right-click a tunnel on the FCIP Tunnels dialog box and select Edit Tunnel or select a tunnel and

click the Edit button. For details, refer to “Editing FCIP tunnels” on page 662.

1. Select the GiGE Port used for the Ethernet connection on each switch. The choices available

depend on the extension switch or blade model.

2. Select Use as failover to configure the 10 GbE port on an 8 Gbps Blade platform as a 10 Gbps

lossless failover circuit.

3. Select the IP Address Type. The implementation is a dual IP layer operation implementation as

described in RFC 4213. IPv6 addresses can exist with IPv4 addresses on the same interface,

but the FCIP circuits must be configured as IPv6 to IPv6 and IPv4 to IPv4 connections.

IPv6-to-IPv4 connections are not supported. Likewise, encapsulation of IPv4 in IPv6 and IPv6

in IPv4 is not supported.
