2.0 FCIP Configuration

To configure an FCIP tunnel between two MDS switches: 1. Enable the FCIP feature and configure an FCIP profile on each switch with the local interface IP and QoS settings. 2. Create an FCIP interface on each switch and bind the profile. Configure the peer IP and allowed VSANs. 3. Configure traffic shaping parameters such as maximum bandwidth and round trip time using measured values.

FCIP Configuration

To Build the FCIP profile and bind to Interface thus creating the L3 tunnel

 MDS-1(config)# Feature FCIP


 MDS-1(config)#FCIP profile 1
 MDS-1(config-profile)#ip address 192.168.100.1 (MDS-1 Gi1/1.100 interface)
 MDS-1(config-profile)# TCP Listener port
 MDS-1(config-profile)# qos config
 MDS-1(config-profile)# )# tcp max-bandwidth-mbps 500 min-available-bandwidth-mbps 250
round-trip-time-us 86

 MDS-1(config)#interface FCIP 1
 MDS-1(config-if)#use-profile 1
 MDS-1(config-if)# peer-info ip address 192.168.100.2 (MDS-2 Gi1/1.100 interface)
 MDS-1(config-if)#swi mode E
 MDS-1(config-if)#swi trunk mode on
 MDS-1(config-if)#switchport trunk allowed vsan 100
 MDS-1(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vsan add 200
 MDS-1(config-if)#no shut

 MDS-1(config)# show int fcip 1 (Best show command for FCIP)

 (This configuration will need to be done on both MDS switches with IP and Peer info swapped to
complete the tunnel.

 MTU = 2300 Bytes (Cisco best practice when configuring FCIP)

 TCP = Port 3225

 In the lab if a question states that the link shouldn’t be interrupted incase a link failure (use
fiber-channel-port-channels as the solution on both MDS switches.

Things to know-

3 FCIP Tunnels per Gig connection on the MDS

1) MDS-1(config)# int fcip 1


MDS-1(config)# passive interface (this interface will never initiate a tunnel connection the
other side must initiate)

2) MDS-1(config)# int fcip 1


MDS-1(config)# qos ? (qos is done under the fcip interface and is done per stream)
MDS-1(config)#qos control 37 data 55
MDS-1(config)#show int fcip 1 (to verify)

3) MDS-1(config)# int fcip 1


MDS-1(config)# write-accelerator ( has to be done on both sides or tunnel is down)

4) MDS-1(config)# int fcip 1


MDS-1(config)# swithport trunk allowed vsan 1 (allowed vsans across the trunk)
MDS-1(config)# swithport trunk allowed vsan add 10
MDS-1(config)# swithport trunk allowed vsan add 20

5) MDS-1(config)# int fcip 1


MDS-1(config-if)# fspf cost 100 vsan 10

6) MDS-1(config-if)# int fcip 101-102 (Place 2 FCIP Tunnels in a FC port-channel


for high availability)
MDS-1(config-if)# channel-group 50

7) MDS-1(config)# int gi1/1.111 (VRRP) Solution


MDS-1(config-if)# vrrp 75
MDS-1(config-if-vrrp)# address 192.168.200.254
MDS-1(config-if-vrrp)# priority 110 (Master)
MDS-1(config-if-vrrp)# no shut

MDS-2(config)# int gi1/1.111


MDS-2(config-if)# vrrp 75
MDS-2(config-if-vrrp)# address 192.168.200.254
MDS-2(config-if-vrrp)# priority 90 (secondary)
MDS-2(config-if-vrrp)# no shut

To configure traffic shaping features on the fcip connection.

MDS-1# show fcip summary (to determine current rtt and configure it for optimal values)

MDS-1# ips measure-rtt 192.168.200.2 (to mds-2) interface gi1/1 (using mds-1 outbound int)
---This command displays the rtt in micro seconds (86) seconds…..

MDS-1(config)# fcip profile 1


MDS-1(config-profile)# tcp max-bandwidth-mbps 500 min-available-bandwidth-mbps 250
round-trip-time-us 86
MDS-1# show fcip summary (to verify)
MDS-1# show fcns database
