Deleting an FCIP circuit on a Brocade 7800 FX8-24 blade

CAUTION

The fciptunnel delete command does not prompt you to verify your deletion. Be sure you want to

delete the tunnel before you press Enter.

Deleting an FCIP circuit on a Brocade 7800 FX8-24 blade

You can delete individual FCIP circuits using the portCfg fcipcircuit command with the delete

option. The command syntax is as follows:

portcfg fcipcircuit ve_port delete circuit_id

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

Manual.

Virtual Fabrics and the Brocade 7800 FX8-24 blade

The 1GbE ports, 10GbE ports, and VE_Ports on the FX8-24 blade can be part of any logical switch.

and can be moved between any two logical switches. In addition, ports do not need to be offline

when they are moved. However, because GbE ports and VE_Ports are independent of each other,

both must be moved in independent steps, and you must delete the configuration on VE_Ports and

GbE ports before moving them between logical switches. This differs from the FR4-18i blade,

where when GbE ports are moved, all the VE_Ports created on that GbE port are automatically

moved, and configurations do not need to be deleted.

NOTE

Virtual fabrics are not supported on the 7800 switch.

Port sharing

In Fabric OS v 7.0 and later, VE_Ports in different logical switches can share a single GbE port

(1GbE or 10GbE) on the default switch.

NOTE

In prior Fabric OS versions, in order to use a GbE port for an FCIP tunnel, that port needed to be in

the same logical switch as the VE_Port for the tunnel.

With GbE port sharing, you can have the following configuration, as an example:

• Default switch has port GbE0

• Logical switch 1 has VE13, which has a circuit over GbE0

• Logical switch 2 has VE14, which also has a circuit over GbE0

All of the committed-rate restrictions and bandwidth sharing of the GbE ports for ARL remain the

same for shared ports in the logical switches. VE_Ports created from shared GbE ports initiate as

regular VE ISLs in their respective logical switches.
