Troubleshooting FCIP Connections
The following example shows a configuration error when using multiple FCIP profiles on one physical
Gigabit Ethernet port.
MDS2(config)# fcip profile 21
MDS2(config-profile)# ip address 10.10.11.2
error: fcip another profile exists with same port & ip
(Multiple FCIP profiles can be used on one physical Gigabit Ethernet port, but each profile must have a
different listening port.)
MDS2(config-profile)# port ?
<1-65535> Profile TCP Port
MDS2(config-profile)# port 32
(Change the TCP listening port on the profile. The default is 3225.)
MDS2(config-profile)# ip address 10.10.11.2
(The IP address for the Gigabit Ethernet port 2/1 is now accepted, and two FCIP profiles are using the
same Gigabit Ethernet port.)
MDS2(config-profile)# end
MDS2# show fcip profile 21
FCIP Profile 21
Internet Address is 10.10.11.2 (interface GigabitEthernet2/1)
Listen Port is 32
(This is a new TCP listen port.)
TCP parameters
SACK is disabled
PMTU discover is enabled, reset timeout is 3600 sec
Keep alive is 60 sec
Minimum retransmission timeout is 300 ms
Maximum number of re-transmissions is 4
Advertised window size is 64 KB
MDS2# show fcip profile 28
FCIP Profile 28
Internet Address is 10.10.11.2 (interface GigabitEthernet2/1)
Listen Port is 3225
(This is the default listen port.)
TCP parameters
SACK is disabled
PMTU discover is enabled, reset timeout is 3600 sec
Keep alive is 60 sec
Minimum retransmission timeout is 300 ms
Maximum number of re-transmissions is 4
Advertised window size is 64 KB
The following example shows a configuration error when bringing a tunnel up on the selected port. This
could be either an FCIP profile issue or an interface FCIP issue. Both sides must be configured correctly.
MDS2(config)# fcip profile 21
MDS2(config-profile)# port 13
(Change the TCP listen port on switch MDS2.)
MDS2(config-profile)# end
MDS2(config)# int fcip 21
MDS2(config-if)# passive-mode
(Put interface FCIP 21 in passive mode to guarantee MDS1 initiates a TCP connection.)
