The FC router port cost is similar to the link cost setting available on E_Ports, which allows you to customize traffic flow. The router port link cost values are either 1000 or 10,000. The router module chooses the router port path based on the lowest cost per FID connection. If multiple paths exist where one path costs lower than the others, then the lowest cost path is used. If exchange-based routing has not been disabled and multiple paths exist with the same lowest cost, there will be load sharing over these paths. Implementing the router port cost feature optimizes the usage of the router port links by directing the traffic to a link with a smaller cost. For example, if there are EX_ and VEX_Port connections to the same edge fabric, the traffic will be directed through the EX_Port link. Every IFL has a default cost. The default router port cost values are: • 1000 for legacy (v5.1 or XPath FCR) IFL • 1000 for EX_Port IFL • 10,000 for VEX_Port IFL 310 Using the FC-FC Routing Service

Implementing the router port cost feature optimizes the usage of the router port links by directing the traffic
