Brocade Fabric OS Administrators Guide (Supporting Fabric OS v7.3.0) - Manual (Page 547)

1. Log in to the switch or backbone.
2. Set the FID alias using the fcrconfigure --add command.
fcrconfigure --add -alias alias_name -fid fid
3. Verify the configured alias names using the fcrconfigure --show -alias command.
fcrconfigure --show -alias
The following example configures alias names for three fabrics, and then
configures an EX_Port using the FID alias name.
switch:admin> fcrconfigure --add -alias Green_fabric -fid 10
switch:admin> fcrconfigure --add -alias Blue_fabric -fid 12
switch:admin> fcrconfigure --add -alias Yellow_fabric -fid 15
switch:admin> fcrconfigure --show -alias

FCIP tunnel configuration
The optional Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) Tunneling Service enables you to use "tunnels" to connect
instances of Fibre Channel SANs over IP-based networks to transport all Fibre Channel ISL and IFL
traffic. FCIP is a prerequisite for configuring VEX_Ports; if you are only using FC_Ports, then there is no
need to configure FCIP tunnels.
If using FCIP in your FC-FC routing configuration, you must first configure FCIP tunnels. Once a tunnel
is created, it defaults to a disabled state. Then configure the VE_Port or VEX_Port. After the appropriate
ports are configured, enable the tunnel.
NOTE
FCIP tunnel configuration is applicable only to Fabric OS fabrics and does not apply to Brocade
Network OS or M-EOS fabrics.
Refer to the Fabric OS FCIP Administrator's Guide for instructions on how to configure FCIP tunnels.
