The FCIP Route Info page contains the following information for the currently
selected FCIP route:
FCIP Interfaces Status reflects the state (Enabled or Disabled) of the
FCIP route, as specified by the user when a route is created or modified.
FC Port indicates the Fibre Channel port that is assigned to the
corresponding FCIP route.
FC Link Status indicates the link state (Up or Down) of the FCIP route.
Up indicates the FCIP route is available for use. An FC Link Status of
Up requires a TCP connection between the two routers, and that the
corresponding Fibre Channel ports of the routers are up (link
established).
Down indicates the FCIP route is not available for use.
GigE Port indicates the gigabit Ethernet (GbE) port that is assigned to the
corresponding FCIP route.
GigE Link Status indicates the link state (Up or Down) of the GbE port
assigned to the FCIP route.
Up indicates the GigE port is available for use (link established).
Down indicates the GigE Port is not available for use (cable
disconnected, negotiation failure, and so on).
Local IP Address is the IP address assigned to the local router. The local
router for FCIP traffic generates IP datagrams with the Source IP Address
set to the value of the Local IP Address.
Remote IP Address is the IP address assigned to the remote router. The
local router for FCIP traffic generates IP datagrams with the Destination IP
Address set to the value of the Remote IP Address.
Subnet Mask indicates the subnet mask to be used with the local and
remote IP addresses.
Gateway IP Address indicates the IP address of the entrance to another
network. If the IP addresses of the FCIP routers are not in the same
network, the gateway IP address specifies where the routers send their
traffic to be forwarded by the gateway.
Jumbo Frames indicates that the use of jumbo Ethernet frames is enabled.
Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with payloads greater than 1500 bytes,
with a maximum size of 9000 bytes. Using jumbo frames requires all the
network equipment in the route to be configured for jumbo frames. Jumbo
frames can increase bandwidth in some networks because the number of
headers to be processed is decreased when each frame contains more user
data. However, some networks may defer or discard jumbo frames when
their buffer resources run low.
