Finding Fibre Channel over TCP/IP (FCIP) Entities Using Service Location Protocol version 2 (SLPv2)

Definitions of Managed Objects for Fibre Channel Over TCP/IP (FCIP)

“…The FCIP dynamic route table contains routing information that is dynamically discovered by this FCIP device. The FCIP device may use the SLPv2 protocol [RFC3822] in conjunction with other protocols, such as Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF), to dynamically discover other FCIP entities and populate this table to map destination domains to FCIP Links. --****************************************************************** --The FCIP Link…”

Fibre Channel Over TCP/IP (FCIP)

“…If dynamic discovery of participating FCIP Entities is supported, the function SHALL be performed using the Service Location Protocol (SLPv2) [17] in the manner defined for FCIP usage [20].…”

“…Upon discovering that dynamic discovery is to be used, the FCIP Entity SHALL enable IP security features for the SLP discovery process as described in [20] 2) is used, the steps described in this section SHALL be followed to take the TCP Connection setup process to completion.…”
