Configuring Virtual Ports
Each GbE port supports up to eight virtual ports. To enable FCIP on these ports, you must configure
them as either VE_Port-to-VE_Port or VE_Port-to-VEX_Port, depending on whether you want to
merge the connected fabrics. Two fabrics connected with VE_Ports will merge. Two fabrics
connected with a VE_Port on one end and a VEX_Port on the other end will not merge. See the
Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for more information on Fibre Channel routing.
By default, all tunnels are created as VE_Port-to-VE_Port. If you do not want to merge the fabrics,
you must explicitly configure the port at one end of the tunnel to be a VEX_Port before you
configure the tunnel.
See “Configuring FCIP ports” in Web Tools Administrator’s Guide for instructions on configuring the
virtual ports. You must configure and enable the ports on both the local and remote switches to
utilize an FCIP ISL/IFL.
