Configuration steps

FIGURE 11 Configuring an IP route

For information on configuring IP routes using crossport addresses, refer to “Configuring IP routes

with crossports” on page 14.

Validating IP connectivity

After you have established the IP interfaces and an IP route, you can issue a portcmd - -ping

command to verify connectivity.

The following example tests the connectivity between the FX8-24 blade and 7800 switch in the

basic sample configuration from the 7800 switch. The -s option specifies the source address, and

the -d option specifies the destination address.

switch:admin> portcmd --ping ge0 -s 192.168.11.78 -d 192.168.1.24

NOTE

To ping crossport addresses, refer to “Using ping with crossports” on page 14.

For full details on syntax and using this command, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference

Manual.

Creating an FCIP tunnel

FCIP tunnels are created using the portCfg fciptunnel create command.

The following command creates the FX8-24 end of the tunnel. VE_Port 12 is specified. Circuit

parameters are included to create circuit 0. The 7800 switch destination address is specified first,

followed by the FX8-24 source address. ARL minimum and maximum committed rates are specified

for circuit 0.
