Fibre Channel IP Address Set Up
You can set up your Fibre Channel network in one of two ways:
• Through the Fibre Channel dialog box in the Configuration Manager
graphical user interface. For instructions on how to do this, refer to “Setting
Up Fibre Channel Networking” on page 102.
• With the fcconfig command.
To set up Fibre Channel with fcconfig :
1. Open a MS-DOS command window and type fcconfig followed by Enter.
The following information is displayed:
Fibre Channel Network Configuration:
FC IP Address . . . . . . . . . . : not set
Hardware Address . . . . . . . . : 0
TCP/UDP checksums . . . . . . . . : Enabled
Multicast . . . . . . . . . . . . : Disabled
Auto host table administration . : Enabled
F/C Switch . . . . . . . . . . . : Disabled
You need to set the IP address, the IP subnet mask, the hardware address and
turn off TCP checksums and auto host table administration. By turning off
TCP checksums, you maximize bandwidth, but you will not be able to detect
data corruption. You turn auto host table administration table if you do not
intend to use
fcncs (see “The PDR Network Configuration Service” on page
252).
2. Type fcconfig /? followed by Enter. The following is displayed:
usage: fcconfig [options]
options:
-i (dotted decimal)
-g (dotted decimal)
-n (dotted decimal)
-a (1-120, 0 for autoconfig)
-t - enable/disable tcp checksums
-hta - enable/disable auto host table admin
-s
