FCIP Routes
3-42 ISR645610-00 B
VLAN Enabled indicates whether the use of virtual LANs is enabled or
disabled. The default is Disabled.
VLAN ID specifies the VLAN ID assigned to the FCIP route when VLAN use
is enabled. The VLAN ID segregates traffic in a LAN, and must be the same
on both routers participating in the FCIP route (local and remote routers
must be using same VLAN ID) and on the Ethernet switches.
VLAN Priority specifies the priority of the VLAN assigned to the FCIP route
when VLAN use is enabled. In a network with multiple VLANs, the VLAN
Priority box prioritizes Ethernet traffic by giving higher preference to traffic
in the network over non-VLAN traffic and traffic from VLANs with lower
priorities. Level 1 is the lowest priority, level 7 is the highest priority, and level
0 specifies no VLAN.
Error Detect Timeout sets the error detect timeout value by selecting one
of five options: 1 to 5 seconds. The default is one second.
Resource Allocate Timeout sets the resource allocate timeout value to one
of five options: 1 to 5 seconds. The default is one second.
FCIP Timestamp enables or disables FCIP timestamps. The default is
Enabled.
FCIP SW Compression indicates whether software compression is
enabled, disabled, or automatic (the default is Disabled). Depending on the
data, software compression may result in lower bandwidth operations. If the
data are highly compressible, the compressed FCIP PDU is significantly
smaller than the original Fibre Channel frame.
Bandwidth (Mbit/sec) defines the maximum bandwidth (in megabits per
second) the GbE port will use during transmits. Supported values range from
1 to 1000 Mbps. Use this setting to limit the bandwidth used by the FCIP
route so it does not consume all the available link bandwidth. For example, if
the slowest link in the WAN is a DS-3 link, the maximum available bandwidth
is 45 megabits per second. To limit the FCIP route to 33 percent of the
overall link bandwidth, set the bandwidth to 15 megabits per second.
