Enabling Persistently Disabled Ports
Ports on the SilkWorm 7500 and FR4-18i are, by default, persistently disabled. Before you can
successfully configure FCIP interswitch links, you must enable the ports.
See “Persistent Enabling and Disabling Ports” on page 5-10 for instructions on enabling persistently
disabled ports.
Managing the FCIP Tunneling Service
This section describes how you can add, edit, and delete individual IP interfaces, IP routes, and FCIP
tunnels. To set up a complete FCIP interswitch/interfabric link, see “Configuring an FCIP Interswitch/
Interfabric Link” on page 7-7.
C
aution
VEX_Port Users: If the fabric is already connected, leave the ports disabled until after you have
configured the VEX_Port; this will prevent unintentional merging of the two fabrics.
N
ote
You must delete the components of the FCIP link in exactly the reverse order they were created. That is,
first delete the tunnels, then the IP routes, then the IP interfaces, and finally the port configuration.
