For related FC-FC Routing commands, see
fcrxlateconfig
,
fcrconfigure
, and
fcrproxyconfig
in the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual .
A Fibre Channel router can interconnect multiple fabrics. EX_Ports or VEX_Ports attached to more than
one edge fabric must configure a different fabric ID for each edge fabric.
At this point you have some options to consider before proceeding to the next step. These options
include FCR router port cost operations and setting up either ISL or EX_Port trunking. For information
about using FCR Router Port Cost operations, see “FC router port cost (optional)” on page -219 and for
information on trunking setup, see “Using EX_Port Frame trunking” on page -223 .
3. Enter the
portEnable
command to enable the ports that you disabled in step 2. You can now
physically attach ISLs from the Fibre Channel Router to the edge fabric.
4. Enter the
portCfgShow
command to view ports that are persistently disabled.
-d
Preferred domain ID (1-239). This command enforces the use of the same
preferred domain ID for all the ports connected to the same edge fabric.
When this option is specified, the preferred domain ID is compared against the
online ports. If the domain ID are different, an error message is issued and the
command fails.
When the
-d
option is not specified, if there are online ports connected to the
same edge fabric, the preferred domain ID is set to the preferred domain ID of
those online ports. Otherwise, if there are offline ports that are set to EX-Port, the
preferred domain ID is set to those offline ports. If none of the above conditions
apply, the existing value is left untouched.
-p
PID format (0-native, 1-core, 2-extended-edge). The value must match the edge
fabric setting. The default value is 1.
-t
Negotiate fabric parameters (1-enable, 2-disable)
-m
Sets the port mode. (0-Brocade, 1-Open, 2-McDATA Fabric, 3-McDATA Fabric
Legacy). This command enforces the use of the same port mode for all the ports
connected to the same edge fabric.
When this option is specified, the port mode is compared against the online
ports. If the modes are different, an error message is issued and the command
fails.
When the
-m
option is not specified:
If there are online ports connected to the same edge fabric, the mode is set to
the mode of those online ports. Otherwise, if there are offline ports that are set
to EX_Port, the mode is set to those offline ports.
If none of the above conditions apply, the existing value is left untouched.
