FSPF Routes Chapter 32 Configuring Fibre Channel Routing Services and Protocols Send documentation comments to [email protected] You see the FSPF interface statistics in the Information pane. FSPF Routes FSPF routes traffic across the fabric, based on entries in the FSPF database. These routes can be learned dynamically, or configured statically. This section includes the following topics: • About Fibre Channel Routes, page 32-12 • Configuring Fibre Channel Routes, page 32-12 • About Broadcast and Multicast Routing, page 32-14 • About Multicast Root Switch, page 32-14 • Setting the Multicast Root Switch, page 32-14 About Fibre Channel Routes Each port implements forwarding logic, which forwards frames based on its FC ID. Using the FC ID for the specified interface and domain, you can configure the specified route (for example FC ID 111211 and domain ID 3) in the switch with domain ID 1 (see Figure 32-9). Figure 32-9 Fibre Channel Routes fc1/1 Domain ID 1 Domain ID 3 Domain ID 7 79944 FC ID 111211 Note Other than in VSANs, runtime checks are not performed on configured and suspended static routes. Configuring Fibre Channel Routes If you disable FSPF, you can manually configure a Fibre Channel route. To configure a Fibre Channel route using Device Manager, follow these steps: Step 1 Click FC > Advanced > Routes. You see the FC Static Route Configuration dialog box shown in Figure 32-10. 32-12 Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide OL-17256-03, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
