Configuring IP Storage
Creating FCIP Tunnels with Device Manager
To create and manage FCIP tunnels with Device Manager, first verify that the IPS module is inserted in
the required Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches, and that the switches' Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are
connected and the connectivity verified using the ping command. The steps in creating FCIP tunnels are:
•
•
•
Assigning FCIP Profiles
You can use Device Manager to configure FCIP tunnels between switches. First, you must create FCIP
profiles, and then bind the interfaces to the profile. To bind an FCIP profile to an interface, use the IP
address of the interface in the FCIP profile's IP address configuration. Profile numbers range from 1 to
255. The interface associated with a profile can be either of the following:
•
•
To create and bind profiles on a Gigabit Ethernet interface, follow these steps.
Step 1
Be sure you are connected to a switch that contains an IPS module.
Open Device Manager.
Step 2
Choose IP > FCIP.
Step 3
Click the Profiles tab if it is not already selected. You see a list of any profiles that are already bound,
Step 4
along with their IP addresses, in the FCIP Profiles dialog box.
To add a new profile, click Create. You see the Create FCIP Profiles dialog box.
Step 5
Enter the profile ID in the ID field.
Step 6
Select an IP address of the interface to which you want to bind the profile from the IP Address drop-down
Step 7
list.
Enter all the optional information, if desired.
Step 8
Click Create to add this profile to the table. Click Close to close the Create FCIP Profiles dialog box
Step 9
without adding the profile.
Creating Tunnels
Each Gigabit Ethernet interface can have three active FCIP tunnels on it at one time.
To create these tunnels, follow these steps:
Be sure you are connected to a switch that contains an IPS module.
Step 1
Open Device Manager.
Step 2
Choose IP > FCIP.
