Using FC-FC Routing to Connect Fabrics If you replace an 8-Gbps port blade with an FX8-24 blade, the EX_Port configuration remains the same for the first 12 FC ports on the FX8-24 blade. If you replace an 8-Gbps port blade or FX8-24 blade with another 8-Gbps port blade, the EX_Port configuration remains the same. Displaying the range of output ports connected to xlate domains The edge fabric detects only one front domain from an FC router connected through multiple output ports. The output port of the front domain is not fixed to 0; the values can be in a range from 129 through 255. The range of the output ports connected to the xlate domain is from 1 through 128. This range enables the front domain to connect to 127 remote xlate domains. 1. Log in to a switch in the edge fabric. 2. Enter the lsDbShow command on the edge fabric. In the lsDbShow output, ports in the range from 129 through 255 are the output ports on the front domain. Display the range of output ports The following example shows the range of output ports. linkCnt = 2, flags = 0x0 LinkId = 53, out port = 1, rem port = 35, cost = 500, costCnt = 0, type = 1 LinkId = 57, out port = 129, rem port = 18, cost = 500, costCnt = 0, type = 1 Display ports on edge fabric The following example also shows the use of the lsDbShow display on the edge fabric. The front domain, domain 3, has two links representing two EX_Port connections with output ports 129 and 132. Domain = 3, Link State Database Entry pointer = 0x100bbcc0 ......... linkCnt = 4, flags = 0x0 LinkId = 199, out port = 129, rem port = 2, cost = 10000, costCnt = 0, type = 1 LinkId = 199, out port = 132, rem port = 3, cost = 10000, costCnt = 0, type = 1 LinkId = 2, out port = 1, rem port = 2, cost = 10000, costCnt = 0, type = 1 LinkId = 1, out port = 32, rem port = 2, cost = 10000, costCnt = 0, type = 1 Brocade Fabric OS Administration Guide, 8.0.1 53-1004111-02 543
