Configuring FCIP
138 IP Storage Router SR2122-2 User Guide
Configuration Tasks
To configure FCIP on an SR2122-2 Storage Router:
1. Create an FCIP instance.
2. Assign an interface and IP address to the FCIP instance for use by the peer
system (another SR2122-2 Storage Router configured for FCIP).
3. Assign FCIP peer IP address.
4. (Optional) Configure operational parameters as needed.
5. Verify and save configuration.
Note: Although this is shown as the last step, you can verify and save the configuration
at any point in the process of performing the configuration tasks. Save your
configuration by using the save all bootconfig CLI command. This command
saves all configuration data to the bootable configuration, which is then used when the
storage router is rebooted.
Creating an FCIP Instance
Creating an FCIP instance consists of naming the new instance. To create an FCIP
instance:
1. enable — Enter Administrator mode.
2. fcip fcip1 — Create an FCIP instance by naming the new instance. For
example, name the instance fcip1.
The FCIP instance named fcip1 uses the Gigabit Ethernet interface ge1; the
instance named fcip2 uses ge2. See the IP Storage Router Command Line
Interface Reference Guide for more information about the fcip command.
3. fcip fcip1 description “Access to SAN island 5” —
(Optional) Add a description of what the FCIP instance is for. For example,
add the description “Access to SAN island 5” to the FCIP instance fcip1.
