Replication between DDs uses IP so you would use pure IP ports. FCIP port you mentioned is FC over IP and it is normally intended for different use (see Cisco MDS 9000 SAN Extension over IP Package).
That switch is overkill. Maybe you could consider another lower level switch. I will suggest Cisco 2960 series. Replication between Data Domain only send deduplication data, transmitted via IP, and built to save bandwidth for replication.
