FCIP/FCR NOTES
FCIP/FCR
Once the switch (SW7500) is configured, the switchShow command displays 32 Fibre Channel ports (port numbers 0 through 31) and 2 GbE ports. The first 16 Fibre Channel ports are physical ports on the SilkWorm 7500, Ports 16-23 are virtual ports associated with the GE0 physical GbE link and ports 24-31 are virtual ports associated with GE1 physical GbE link. The GbE ports are displayed as ge0 and ge1 and are not assigned port numbers or area numbers.
FCIP/FCR
NOTE: Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are configured as VE_Ports, and do not merge if they are configured as VEX_Ports. If VE_Ports are used in a Fibre Channel Routing Services backbone fabric configuration, then the backbone fabric merges but the EX_Port attached to edge fabrics do not merge.
10
FCIP/FCR
NOTE: The port types for FCIP tunneling are either VE_Port or VEX_Port. An FCIP tunnel using VE_Ports will merge the two fabrics. An FCIP tunnel using a VEX_Port will not merge the fabrics. A VEX_Port can connect only to a VE_Port. The IP encapsulation of the Fibre Channel frame on one port and the reconstruction of Fibre Channel frames on the other port is transparent to the initiator and target.
11
FCIP/FCR
NOTE: If using FCIP in your FC-FC Routing configuration, you must first configure FCIP tunnels. Once a tunnel is created, it defaults to a disabled state. Then configure the VE_Port or VEX_Port. After the appropriate ports are configured, enable the tunnel.
12
BROCADE FCR/FCIP
Secure Fabric OS, Management Server Platform services, and interopmode are not supported in the backbone fabric. FOS 5.2 and above support FC-FC connections to McDATA Fabrics. Fabric OS v5.2.0 furnishes the FC router with the ability to connect to McDATA fabrics in both McDATA Open or McDATA Fabric mode.
13
BROCADE FCR/FCIP
Ensure fabric OS is at v5.1 or later. Fabric OS 5.2 or later is required if connecting to McDATA Fabrics

WAN Analysis
Introduced in Fabric OS v5.2.0, WAN analysis tools are designed to estimate the end-to-end IP path performance characteristics between a pair of Brocade FCIP port endpoints. WAN tools include the following commands and options: portCmd ipPerfCharacterizes end-to-end IP path performance between a pair of Brocade FCIP ports. You can use the WAN tool ipPerf only on the FR4-18i or SilkWorm 7500 FCIP ports running Fabric OS v5.2.0 or later software. portShow fcipTunnelDisplays performance statistics generated from the WAN analysis.
