Creating a multicircuit tunnel (example)
2
Site B
portcfg fciptunnel 16 create --ficon -c 1
• To use this tunnel for FCP with Fastwrite and Open Systems Tape Pipelining traffic, and
hardware compression, create it using the following commands.
Site A
portcfg fciptunnel 16 create --fastwrite --tape-pipelining -c 1
Site B
portcfg fciptunnel 16 create --fastwrite --tape-pipelining -c 1
To display details of tunnel configuration from using the previous commands, use the following
command:
portShow fciptunnel all
NOTE
To use software compression (only mode 2 would be valid for a 6 Gb Tunnel), specify “-c 2"
instead of “-c 1" in the preceding commands.
At this time, the tunnel has been created with the compression mode, and operational mode
defined. The tunnel is not usable yet. You must add circuits to the tunnel. The next step is to
create the circuits.
3. Add circuits using the portcfg fcipcircuit command. The command requires the source and
destination IP addresses that you assigned to ports in step 1, as well as a bandwidth
assignments. The following example commands create six circuits for the FCIP tunnel that you
created in step 2. Each circuit provides a fixed 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit) maximum usable
bandwidth.
