For related FC-FC routing commands, refer to fcrEdgeShow, fcrXlateConfig, fcrConfigure, and
fcrProxyConfig in the
Fabric OS Command Reference .
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.
3. ( Optional ) Configure FC router port cost if you want to change the default values. For
information about using FC router port cost operations, refer to “FC router port cost
configuration” on page 587.
4. ( Optional ) Set up ISL or EX_Port trunking. For information on trunking setup, refer to
“Configuring EX_Port trunking” on page 542.
5. Enter the portEnable command to enable the ports that you disabled in step 1 .
switch:admin> portenable 7/10
6. Physically attach ISLs from the Fibre Channel router to the edge fabric.
7. Enter the portCfgShow command to view ports that are persistently disabled.
FC ports on the Brocade 7800 switches and FX8-24 blades are configured as persistently
disabled by default, to avoid inadvertent fabric merges when installing a new FC router.
