FCIP
The FCIP support connects separate SAN islands over an IP network. Each
defined connection is a virtual E_Port (VE_Port) and can work as an E_Port or a
TE_Port. Each Gigabit Ethernet interface can support up to three FCIP tunnels.
To use FCIP, depending on your particular configuration, you need to purchase a
licence. The FCIP licence is a standard feature with MDS 9216i. For the rest of
the switches, you need to purchase the corresponding licence feature that
corresponds to your particular line card. For example, the corresponding FCIP
Activation feature for the 8-port IP Services module is f/c 2210.
FCIP VE_Ports and TE_Ports can also be aggregated to form a PortChannel
between Cisco MDS switches.
