FCIP tunnel configuration

FIGURE 192 Configuring the tunnel
Enter the settings for the following fields:
Tunnel ID - Each end of the tunnel has a tunnel ID, which is associated with the GigE port.
Bandwidth - You can choose uncommitted, which allows the use of available uncommited
bandwidth, or committed, which assigns a specific bandwidth. If you choose uncommited, the
uncommited bandwidth is shared among other tunnels set to use uncommited bandwidth: not
all uncommited bandwidth is automatically used for a specific tunnel. If you choose committed,
enter the bandwidth to use and select the unit of measurement. Like MTU, maximum
bandwidth is the same on both ends of the tunnel, and after the bandwidth is set on the local
end of the tunnel, the Bandwidth field on the other end of the tunnel changes to Same as local
switch. You can click Max Current Bandwidth to determine the current allowance.
VLAN Tag - A numerical value between 1 and 4094 to configure a VLAN Tag. For more
information on VLAN tagging, refer to the “Configuring and Monitoring FCIP Services” chapter
in the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
Port type - Commonly, one end of a tunnel is defined as a VE_Port, and the other end as a
VEX_port. Remember that VEX_Port-to-VEX_Port is not supported. Details about the port types
can be found at “FCIP tunnel configuration” on page 291.
FID - The fabric ID (FID) of the edge fabric is required for VEX_Ports. VE_Port configurations do
not require an FID.
