Command History
Usage Guidelines
When no compression mode is entered in the command, the default is
auto
.
The FCIP compression feature introduced in Cisco SAN-OS Release 1.3 allows IP packets to be
compressed on the FCIP link if this feature is enabled on that link. By default the FCIP compression is
disabled. When enabled, the software defaults to using the auto mode (if a mode is not specified).
Cisco SAN-OS Release 2.0(1b) and later, you to configure FCIP compression using one of the following
modes:
•
mode1
is a fast compression mode for high bandwidth links (> 25 Mbps)
•
mode2
is a moderate compression mode for moderately low bandwidth links (between 10 and 25
Mbps)
•
mode3
is a high compression mode for low bandwidth links (< 10 Mbps)
•
auto
(default) mode picks the appropriate compression scheme based on the bandwidth of the link
(the bandwidth of the link configured in the FCIP profile’s TCP parameters)
auto
Enables automatic compression setting.
mode1
Enables fast compression for the following high bandwidth links:
— IPS-4 and IPS-8, less then 100 Mbps
— MPS-14/2, up to 1 Gbps
mode2
Enables moderate compression for medium bandwidth links less then 25
Mbps.
mode3
Enables compression for bandwidth links less then 10 Mbps.
