To view a DH-CHAP secret word database

Configuring an interfabric link
Before configuring an IFL, be aware that you cannot configure both IFLs (EX_Ports, VEX_Ports) and ISLs
(E_Ports) from a single 400 MP Router or B-Series MP Router blade to the same edge fabric.
Configuring an interfabric link involves disabling ports and cabling them to other fabrics, configuring those
ports for their intended use, and then enabling the ports.
When it is in strict mode, ACL cannot support Fibre Channel routing in the fabric. Before connecting an
edge fabric to an FC router and before setting up the FC router in the BB, verify that the Fabric Wide
Consistency Policy is not in ‘strict’ mode by issuing the
fddCfg --showall
command.
If the Fabric Wide Consistency Policy has the ‘S’ letter in it in the edge fabric or the BB fabric, do not
connect the edge fabric or the BB to the FC router.
NOTE: To ensure that fabrics remain isolated, disable the port prior to inserting the cable. If you are
configuring an EX_Port, disable the port prior to making the connection.
To configure an IFL for both edge and backbone connections
1. On the 400 MP Router or B-Series MP Router blade, disable the port that you are configuring an
EX_Port (the one connected to the switch) by issuing the
portDisable
command.
You can verify that port 7 has been disabled by issuing the
portShow
command for the port.
2. Configure each port that connects to an edge fabric as an EX_Port or VEX_Port. Note the following:
•
portCfgVEXPort
works only on the GbE ports.
•
portCfgEXPort
(only on the FC ports on the 400 MP Router or 4/256 SAN Director with a
B-Series MP Router blade) commands work only on ports that are capable of FC-FC routing.
Use the
portCfgEXPort
or
portCfgVEXPort
command to:
• Enable or disable EX_Port or VEX_Port mode.
• Set the fabric ID (avoid using fabric ID 1, which is the default for backbone connections).
