Fabric OS 6.2 administrator guide 379
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.
Configuring an IFL for both edge and backbone connections
1.
On the FC router, disable the port that you are configuring as an EX_Port (the one connected to the
Fabric OS switch) by issuing the
portDisable
command.
switch:admin>
portdisable 7/10
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 GbE ports.
•
portCfgEXPort
(only on the FC ports on the FC router) 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 FID (avoid using FID 1, which is the default for backbone connections).
NOTE:
If an edge fabric with redundant links to the backbone fabric is segmented, hosts may lose
connectivity to imported targets.
Repair the edge fabric, and then use the
portCfgEXPort
command to disable all EX_Ports to the edge
fabric, and enable the EX_Ports again to restore connectivity.
The following example enables the EX_Port (or VEX_Port) and assigns a FID of 30 to port 7.
switch:admin>
portcfgexport 7/10 -a 1 -f 30
switch:admin>
portcfgexport 7/10

This port can now connect to another switch. For more information about the
portCfgEXPort
and
portCfgVEXport
commands, see the
Fabric OS Command Reference
.
For related FC-FC Routing commands, see
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 FID for each edge fabric.
