switch(config)#
Step 2
switch2(config)# interface fcip 52

Advanced FCIP Profile Configuration
A basic FCIP configuration uses the local IP address to configure the FCIP profile. In addition to the
local IP address and the local port, you can specify other TCP parameters as part of the FCIP profile
configuration.

Configuring TCP Listener Ports
The default TCP port for FCIP is 3225. You can change this port using the port command.
To change the default FCIP port number (3225), follow these steps:
