FC-FC routing management FC-FC routing management You can perform Fibre Channel Routing operations using Web Tools, Web Tools with the EGM license, and Integrated Routing license. You can manage FC-FC Routing through the FC Routing module. The FC Routing module has tabbed panes that display EX-Ports, LSAN fabrics, LSAN zones, LSAN devices, and general FCR information. NOTE In Fabric OS 7.0.1, Integrated Routing (IR) license is not required to configure a port as EX_Port with Network OS mode. The FC Routing module provides a dynamic display. Any changes in the FCR configuration on the switch are automatically updated in the FC Routing module within 30 to 90 seconds, depending on the network traffic. The last refresh time is displayed in the lower-left corner of the subtabs. The switch must be FC Router-capable, as described in Fibre Channel Routing overview on page 167. You need to configure only EX_Ports and the backbone fabric ID on the FC Router. You can configure LSAN zones on the fabrics from where devices need to be shared. You can configure LSAN zones on the backbone fabric to allow edge fabrics to share devices in the backbone fabric. To modify the data, you must log in as switchadmin, fabricadmin, basicswitchadmin, operator, or any user-defined role configured with modify rights. If you log in as user, zoneadmin, or securityadmin, you can only view the data. If the FC-FC Routing service is disabled, the LSAN zones, LSAN fabric, and devices tabs continue to display the existing entries, but display the entries related to the backbone fabric only. All of the EX_Ports are disabled and you cannot enable them until FC-FC routing is enabled. Opening the FC Routing module The FCR submenu under Configure launches the FC Routing module. This module is displayed only for the following switches: • Brocade VA-40FC • Brocade 6510 • Brocade 6520 • Brocade 5100 and 5300 switches, 7800 Extension Switch, and the 7840 Extension Switch • Brocade DCX, DCX-4S and DCX 8510 enterprise-class platforms, when configured with FC8-16, FX8-24, FC8-32, FC8-48, FC8-64, FC16-32, FC16-48 or FC16-64 blades • Brocade DCX 8510-4 and DCX 8510-8, when configured with FC8-16, FC8-32, FC8-48, FC8-64, FC8-32E, FC8-48E, or CR16-8 blades NOTE When the Virtual Fabrics capability is enabled on the switch, Fabric ID cannot be set using the Set Fabric ID button. To open the FC Routing module, perform the following steps. 1. Select a logical switch from the Logical Switch list in the top-right corner of the Switch Explorer window. The selected switch displays in the Switch View. 2. Click Configure > FCR Web Tools Administrator's Guide 169 53-1003169-01

FC-FC routing management

You can perform Fibre Channel Routing operations using Web Tools, Web Tools with the EGM license,

and Integrated Routing license. You can manage FC-FC Routing through the FC Routing module. The

FC Routing module has tabbed panes that display EX-Ports, LSAN fabrics, LSAN zones, LSAN

devices, and general FCR information.

NOTE

In Fabric OS 7.0.1, Integrated Routing (IR) license is not required to configure a port as EX_Port with

Network OS mode.

The FC Routing module provides a dynamic display. Any changes in the FCR configuration on the

switch are automatically updated in the FC Routing module within 30 to 90 seconds, depending on the

network traffic. The last refresh time is displayed in the lower-left corner of the subtabs.

The switch must be FC Router-capable, as described in

Fibre Channel Routing overview

on page 167.

You need to configure only EX_Ports and the backbone fabric ID on the FC Router. You can configure

LSAN zones on the fabrics from where devices need to be shared. You can configure LSAN zones on

the backbone fabric to allow edge fabrics to share devices in the backbone fabric.

To modify the data, you must log in as switchadmin, fabricadmin, basicswitchadmin, operator, or any

user-defined role configured with modify rights. If you log in as user, zoneadmin, or securityadmin, you

can only view the data.

If the FC-FC Routing service is disabled, the LSAN zones, LSAN fabric, and devices tabs continue to

display the existing entries, but display the entries related to the backbone fabric only. All of the

EX_Ports are disabled and you cannot enable them until FC-FC routing is enabled.

Opening the FC Routing module

The

FCR

submenu under

Configure

launches the FC Routing module. This module is displayed only

for the following switches:

•

Brocade VA-40FC

•

Brocade 6510

•

Brocade 6520

•

Brocade 5100 and 5300 switches, 7800 Extension Switch, and the 7840 Extension Switch

•

Brocade DCX, DCX-4S and DCX 8510 enterprise-class platforms, when configured with FC8-16,

FX8-24, FC8-32, FC8-48, FC8-64, FC16-32, FC16-48 or FC16-64 blades

•

Brocade DCX 8510-4 and DCX 8510-8, when configured with FC8-16, FC8-32, FC8-48, FC8-64,

FC8-32E, FC8-48E, or CR16-8 blades

NOTE

When the Virtual Fabrics capability is enabled on the switch, Fabric ID cannot be set using the

Set

Fabric ID

button.

To open the FC Routing module, perform the following steps.

Select a logical switch from the

Logical Switch

list in the top-right corner of the

Switch Explorer

window.

The selected switch displays in the
