Fabric OS 5.3.0 administrator guide 233
In addition to ensuring that the backbone fabric IDs are the same within the same backbone, you need to
make sure that when two different backbones are connected to the same edge fabric, the backbone fabric
IDs are different (but the edge fabric FID should be the same). Configuration of two backbones with the
same backbone fabric ID that are connected to the same edge is invalid. In this configuration, a RAS log
message is displayed warning about fabric ID overlap. However, when two backbone fabrics are not
connected to the same edge, they can have the same backbone fabric ID.
To assign backbone fabric IDs
1.
Log in to the switch or Director.
2.
Enter the
fosConfig --disable fcr
command to disable the FC-FC Routing Service. See the
Fabric OS Command Reference Manual or the CLI man pages for more information about the
fosConfig
command.
NOTE:
The default state for the FCR is disabled. The
fcrEnable
and
fcrDisable
commands continue
to operate as before, however
fosConfig
is the preferred method for enabling and disabling the FC-FC
Routing (FCR) Service.
3.
Enter the
fcrConfigure
command. At the prompt, enter the fabric ID, or press
Enter
to specify the
default fabric ID (1).
4.
Verify that the fabric ID is different from that set for edge fabrics.
Multiple FC routers attached to the same backbone fabric must have the same backbone fabric ID.
5.
Then enter the
fosConfig --enable fcr
command.

Configuring FCIP tunnels (Optional)
The optional Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) Tunneling Service enables you to use “tunnels” to connect
instances of Fibre Channel SANs over IP-based networks to transport all Fibre Channel ISL and IFL traffic.
FCIP is a prerequisite for configuring VEX_Ports; if you are only using FC_Ports, then there is no need to
perform this step.
If using FCIP in your FC-FC Routing configuration, you must first configure FCIP tunnels. Once a tunnel is
created, it defaults to a disabled state. Then configure the VE_Port or VEX_Port. After the appropriate ports
are configured, enable the tunnel.
This section is applicable only to Fabric OS fabrics and does not apply to M-EOS fabrics.
See
Configuring and monitoring FCIP tunneling
, page 393 for instructions on how to configure FCIP
tunnels.
Configuring FC-FC routing to work with Secure Fabric OS (optional)
If you do not have Secure Fabric OS enabled in the edge fabric, then you are not required to complete the
tasks in this section.
NOTE:
Secure Fabric OS is
not
supported in backbone fabrics. You can connect a Fibre Channel router to
an edge fabric that has security enabled, although this is not a prerequisite for FCR to work.
The 400 MP Router and 4/256 SAN Director with an B-Series MP Router blade support Fibre Channel
routing between Brocade’s secure fabric employing Secure Fabric OS with DH-CHAP (Diffie-Hellman with
Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) authentication. It also supports secure fabric to nonsecure
