Chapter 48 Configuring FCIP
Using the FCIP Wizard
You see the FCIP Tunnels dialog box.
Step 4 Set the ProfileID and TunnelID fields.
Step 5 Set the RemoteIPAddress and RemoteTCPPort fields for the peer IP address you are configuring.
Step 6 Check the PassiveMode check box if you do not want this end of the link to initiate a TCP connection.
Step 7 (Optional) Set the NumTCPCon field to the number of TCP connections from this FCIP link.
Step 8 Check the Enable check box in the B Port section of the dialog box and optionally check the KeepAlive
check box if you want a response sent to an ELS Echo frame received from the FCIP peer.
Step 9 (Optional) Set the other fields in this dialog box and click Create to create this FCIP link.
To enable B port mode using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose ISLs > FCIP from the Physical Attributes pane.
You see the FCIP profiles and links in the Information pane.
From Device manager, choose IP > FCIP. You see the FCIP dialog box.
Step 2 Click the Tunnels tab.

Step 9 (Optional) Set the other fields in this dialog box and click Create to create this FCIP link.
Quality of Service
The quality of service (QoS) parameter specifies the differentiated services code point (DSCP) value to
mark all IP packets (type of service—TOS field in the IP header).
• The control DSCP value applies to all FCIP frames in the control TCP connection.
• The data DSCP value applies to all FCIP frames in the data connection.
If the FCIP link has only one TCP connection, that data DSCP value is applied to all packets in that
connection.
Configuring E Ports
You can configure E ports in the same way you configure FCIP interfaces. The following features are
also available for FCIP interfaces:
