FIGURE 10 Basic sample configuration
There are no addressing restrictions for IPv4 and IPv6 connections with both switches or blades in
the tunnel running Fabric OS v7.0 and later.
Configuring an IP route
Routing is based on the destination IP address presented by an FCIP circuit. If the destination
address is not on the same subnet as the GbE port IP address, you need to configure an IP route to
that destination with an IP gateway on the same subnet as the local GbE port IP address. To
configure the route, use the portCfg iproute create command. Up to 32 IP routes may be defined for
each GbE port. Figure 11 adds an IP route for the basic sample configuration.
The following command creates an IP route to destination network 192.168.11.0 for port ge0 on
the FX8-24 blade in slot 8 of the Brocade DCX-4S. The route is through local gateway 192.168.1.1.
switch:admin> portcfg iproute 8/ge0 create 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
The following command creates an IP route to destination network 192.168.1.0 for port ge0 on the
Brocade 7800 switch. The route is through local gateway 192.168.11.1.
switch:admin> portcfg iproute ge0 create 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.11.1
