portCfg
--local-ha-ip ipaddress | none
Sets the local HA IP address to use for the circuit. This argument is applicable on the
Brocade 7840 switch and the Brocade SX6 extension blade only.
--remote-ha-ip ipaddress | none
Sets the remote HA IP address to use for the circuit. This argument is applicable on the
Brocade 7840 switch and the Brocade SX6 extension blade only.
-S | --local-ip local_ip_addr
Specifies the IP address for the local end of the circuit.
-b | --min-comm-rate value in kbps -B | --max-comm-rate value in kbps
You can set a minimum and a maximum for the committed rate to configure the tunnel
for Adaptive Rate Limiting (ARL), which allows for a more effective sharing of
bandwidth between applications. For Brocade FX8-24, the valid range is 10,000 Kbps
to 1,000,000 Kbps for 1G ports and 10,000 Kbps to 10,000,000 Kbps for 10G ports.
For Brocade 7840 and the Brocade SX6 extension blade, the valid range is 20,000
Kbps to 10,000,000 Kbps. The maximum committed rate can be no larger than five
times the minimum committed rate, and both sides of the circuit must have matching
configurations.
modify [circuit_ID] [circuit_arguments]
Modifies the properties of an existing extension circuit. To modify a circuit, you must specify
at least one of the optional circuit parameters for the command to be effective. Any circuit
attribute you change with the fcipcircuit modify command affects only the specified circuit.
All other circuits remain unchanged.
--sla sla_name | none
Assigns an SLA to a circuit. Make sure to configure the other end of the circuit with a
matching SLA. Specify none to remove the SLA for a circuit.
Refer to fciptunnel create and modify for a listing of other optional circuit arguments
and their descriptions.
delete circuit_ID
Deletes the specified extension circuit.
Examples To create a FICON-enabled tunnel, first create an empty extension tunnel without any circuits:
switch:admin> portcfg fciptunnel 1/12 create
Operation succeeded
To enable FICON and compression on the tunnel (this sets the keepalive timeout value to 1000 ms, which is the
default for FICON-enabled tunnels):
switch:admin> portcfg fciptunnel 1/12 modify -c hardware -F enable
Operation succeeded
To create two circuits (circuit 0 and circuit 1) on the tunnel (these circuits will be created with the FICON-compatible
keepalive timeout value):
switch:admin> portcfg fcipcircuit 1/12 create \
0 192.168.51.61 192.168.50.68 -b 300000 -B 500000
Operation succeeded
