Virtual Fabrics and FCIP

2. Enter the following command.

policy --delete type number

In the syntax, type is the policy type and number is the number assigned.

For example, to delete the IPsec policy number 10:

switch:admin> policy --delete ipsec 10

The policy has been successfully deleted.

Viewing IPsec information for an FCIP tunnel

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.

2. Enter the portShow fcipTunnel command.

The following example shows the portShow fcipTunnel command used to display IPsec

information for tunnel 3:

switch:admin> portshow fciptunnel 8/ge0 3 -ipsec

NOTE

On the Brocade FR4-18i, the -ipsec option displays IKE and IPSec policy information on

IPSec-enabled tunnels.

For details of command syntax and output examples, refer to the Fabric OS Command

Reference Manual.

Virtual Fabrics and FCIP

Any GbE port and all of its associated FCIP tunnels on a chassis can be assigned to any logical

switch. As with the current Fabric OS, the port types supported by FCIP are either VE_ Port or

VEX_Port. When a GbE port is moved to a logical switch, all eight VE_Ports and VEX_Ports are

automatically moved. There is no interaction required to assign or move them.

The following constraints on VE_Ports and VEX_Ports apply:

• All VEX_Ports will be persistently disabled when Virtual Fabric mode is enabled. You need to

create a logical switch with the base switch attribute turned on and move the ports to the new

base switch.

• The ports must be offline before they are moved from one logical switch to another.

• A logical switch is independent of the base switch. Therefore, all GbE port-based protocol

addresses, such as IP addresses, must be unique within a logical switch.

• FCIP tunnels working as an extended ISL can carry traffic for multiple fabrics. Therefore, a GbE

port used as an extended ISL must be assigned to the base switch.
