About FCIP
FCIP Profiles
The FCIP profile contains information about the local IP address and TCP parameters. The profile
defines the following information:
• The local connection points (IP address and TCP port number)
• The behavior of the underlying TCP connections for all FCIP links that use this profile
The FCIP profile’s local IP address determines the Gigabit Ethernet port where the FCIP links terminate
(see
Figure 48-3).

FCIP Interfaces
The FCIP interface is the local endpoint of the FCIP link and a VE port interface. All the FCIP and E
port parameters are configured in context to the FCIP interface.
The FCIP parameters consist of the following:
• The FCIP profile determines which Gigabit Ethernet port initiates the FCIP links and defines the
TCP connection behavior.
• Peer information.
• Number of TCP connections for the FCIP link.
• E port parameters—trunking mode and trunk allowed VSAN list.
