Adding an FCIP circuit
When adding a new FCIP tunnel, you can add an FCIP circuit by selecting the Add Circuit button on
the Add FCIP Tunnel dialog box. Additional FCIP circuits can be added to existing FCIP tunnels by
clicking Add Circuit from the Circuit tab, or by right-clicking on an existing tunnel and selecting Add
Circuit.

1. Select the GiGE Port used for the Ethernet connection on each switch. The choices available
depend on the extension switch or blade model.
2. Select the IP Address Type. The implementation is a dual IP layer operation implementation as
described in RFC 4213. IPv6 addresses can exist with IPv4 addresses on the same interface,
but the FCIP circuits must be configured as IPv6 to IPv6 and IPv4 to IPv4 connections.
IPv6-to-IPv4 connections are not supported. Likewise, encapsulation of IPv4 in IPv6 and IPv6
in IPv4 is not supported.
3. Select the IP Address for each port. This implementation of IPv6 uses unicast addresses for
the interfaces with FCIP circuits. The unicast address must follow the RFC 4291 IPv6 standard
and use the IANA assigned IPv6 Global Unicast address space (2000::/3).
4. For IPv4 addresses, specify the Subnet Mask. For IPv6 addresses, specify the prefix length.
