Chapter 11 I Commands
ip-compression
The IP compression feature behavior differs between the IPS module(s) and the MPS-14/2
module—while mode2 and mode3 perform software compression in both modules, mode1 performs
hardware-based compression in MPS-14/2 modules, and software compression in IPS-4 and IPS-8
modules.
In Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a) and later, the auto mode option uses a combination of
compression modes to effectively utilize the WAN bandwidth. The compression modes change
dynamically to maximize the WAN bandwidth utilization.
Examples The following example enables faster compression.
switch# config terminal
switch(config) interface fcip 1
switch(config-if)# ip-compression mode1
The following example enables automatic compression by default.
switch(config-if)# ip-compression
The following example disables compression.
switch(config-if)# no ip-compression
Related Commands Command Description
show interface fcip Displays an interface configuration for a specified FCIP interface.
