Configuring IP routes with crossports
You can configure IP routes with crossport addresses, as in the following example. In the example,
the route will be available for FCIP tunnel circuits using VE ports 12 through 21.
portcfg iproute 8/xge0 create 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.11.250 --crossport
or
portcfg iproute 8/xge0 create 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.11.250 –x
Delete the route using the delete option instead of the create option for the portcfg iproute
command.
portcfg iproute 8/xge0 delete 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 -x
For more information on configuring an IP route, refer to “Configuring an IP route” on page 37.
NOTE
If an XGE port has both regular and crossport addresses configured on it, and they use the same IP
route, then two routes will need to be configured—a regular route and an identical route on the cross
port.
Configuring VLAN tags with crossports
Add entries with crossport addresses to the VLAN tag table, as in the following example. This
example allows VE ports 12 through 21 to use the configured local IP interface with this VLAN tag.
portcfg vlantag 8/xge0 add 192.168.11.20 200 1 --crossport
or
portcfg vlantag 8/xge0 add 192.168.11.20 200 1 –x
Delete the VLAN tag using the delete option instead of the add option for the portcfg vlantag
command.
portcfg vlantag 8/xge0 delete 192.168.11.20 200 1 –x
NOTE
To tag Class-F traffic or data path traffic, use the -v, - -vlan-tagging option on the fcipcircuit create or
fcipcircuit modify command.
For more information on managing VLAN tags, refer to “Managing the VLAN tag table” on page 26.
Using ping with crossports
You can ping crossport addresses as in the following example. Note that if the crossport or x
options are not specified and the address is on the crossport, the portcmd command will fail with
an unknown IP address.
portcmd --ping 8/xge0 -s 192.168.11.20 -d 1.1.1.1 --crossport
or
portcmd --ping 8/xge0 -s 192.168.11.20 -d 1.1.1.1 –x
For more information on using ping, refer to “Using ping to test a connection” on page 84.
