-x |--metric metric
Specifies the metric for the configured circuit. The valid range is 0 - 1.
The default value is 0. A lower metric assigns a higher priority to the
circuit. As data is flowing through the FCIP tunnel, it automatically
traverses the lowest metric cost circuits. For example, if a tunnel has five
circuits, three of which are set to a metric of 0 and two are set to a metric
of 1, all data will flow over the metric 0 circuits. This parameter is
meaningful only if you configure more than one circuit.
-b | --min-comm-rate minimum
Modifies the minimum committed traffic rate on the specified FCIP circuit
in Kbps.
-B | --max -comm-rate maximum
Modifies the maximum committed traffic rate on the specified FCIP
circuit in Kbps.
-m |--min-retrans-time time
Specifies the minimum time interval in milliseconds between
retransmits. The valid range is 20ms - 5000ms. The default value is
100ms.
-r |--max-retransmits retransmissions
Specifies the maximum number of retransmissions. The valid range is 1 -
16. The default value is 8. If tape pipelining is enabled, the default value
is calculated based on the minimum retransmit time to ensure that the
tunnel does not time out before the host times out (at least 80 seconds).
If you choose to modify this value, the specified value must be greater
than the calculated value.
delete circuit_ID
Deletes the specified FCIP circuit or all circuits in a tunnel.
Examples To create an FCIP tunnel with a committed rate of 1544 Kbps on a Brocade FX8-24:
switch:admin>portcfg fciptunnel 1/12 create 20.10.12.34 20.09.14.57 1000
Operation succeeded
To create another FCIP circuit on the same switch:
switch:admin>portcfg fcipcircuit 1/12 create 1 20.10.12.3420.09.14.60 1000
Operation succeeded
switch:admin> portshow fcipcircuit 2/12 0
