> # FCIP Profiles

> The FCIP profile contains information about the local IP address and TCP parameters. The profile defines the following information:

> - The local connection points (IP address and TCP port number)
> - The behavior of the underlying TCP connections for all FCIP links that use this profile

> The FCIP profile’s local IP address determines the Gigabit Ethernet port where the FCIP links terminate .

> You must assign a local IP address of a Gigabit Ethernet interface or subinterface to the FCIP profile to create an FCIP profile. You can assign IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to the interfaces.
