11 Viewing LSAN zones DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL Use the following procedure to configure the FCR router port cost. 1. Open the Switch View window. 2. Click FCR in the Manage section of the Tasks menu. 3. Click the Ex_Ports tab. 4. Click the Router Port Cost button. Viewing LSAN zones The LSAN Zones tab displays all the LSAN zones, in both a tabular and tree form. If FC-FC Routing is disabled, the table and the tree node in this tab display only the LSAN zones present in the backbone fabric. For more detailed information about a specific LSAN zone, click a zone name in the table and then click the View Details button in the task bar. You can also click the zone name in the tree on the left side of the window. The LSAN matrix is mapping of LSAN Zones with the edge fabric they are going to communicate with. When an LSAN matrix is created in the backbone fabric, only the LSAN zones mapped in the edge fabrics are displayed in the LSAN Zones tab. Follow the procedure described in "Creating and populating zones" on page 128 to create LSAN zones. Viewing LSAN devices The LSAN Devices tab displays information about the physical and proxy devices and displays these devices in a tree on the left side of the window. (If FC-FC Routing is disabled, the tables and tree nodes in this tab are empty.) Click the LSAN Devices element in the tree to display a count of all the physical and proxy LSAN devices. Note that this count is for all of the LSAN fabrics. Click the Physical Devices or Proxy Devices element in the tree to see a detailed list of the physical or proxy devices. Click the device name in the tree for more detailed information about a specific device. Configuring the backbone fabric ID Web Tools automatically disables FC-FC Routing before setting the fabric ID, and then re-enables it afterwards. However, you must first disable all of the EX_Ports before you begin this operation. After the fabric ID is changed, you can enable these ports again. Use the following procedure to configure the backbone fabric ID. 1. Open the Switch View window. 2. Select FCR in the Manage section of the Tasks menu. 3. Select the EX-Ports tab. 4. Select all the EX_Ports in the table, and click Disable. 156 Web Tools Administrator's Guide 53-1001772-01

Viewing LSAN zones

DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL

Use the following procedure to configure the FCR router port cost.

Open the

Switch View

window.

Click

FCR

in the

Manage

section of the

Tasks

menu.

Click the

Ex_Ports

tab.

Click the

Router Port Cost

button.

Viewing LSAN zones

The

LSAN Zones

tab displays all the LSAN zones, in both a tabular and tree form. If FC-FC Routing is

disabled, the table and the tree node in this tab display only the LSAN zones present in the

backbone fabric.

For more detailed information about a specific LSAN zone, click a zone name in the table and then

click the

View Details

button in the task bar. You can also click the zone name in the tree on the left

side of the window.

The LSAN matrix is mapping of LSAN Zones with the edge fabric they are going to communicate

with. When an LSAN matrix is created in the backbone fabric, only the LSAN zones mapped in the

edge fabrics are displayed in the LSAN Zones tab.

Follow the procedure described in

“Creating and populating zones”

on page 128 to create LSAN

zones.

Viewing LSAN devices

The

LSAN Devices

tab displays information about the physical and proxy devices and displays these

devices in a tree on the left side of the window. (If FC-FC Routing is disabled, the tables and tree

nodes in this tab are empty.)

Click the

LSAN Devices

element in the tree to display a count of all the physical and proxy LSAN

devices. Note that this count is for all of the LSAN fabrics.

Click the

Physical Devices

Proxy Devices

element in the tree to see a detailed list of the physical

or proxy devices. Click the device name in the tree for more detailed information about a specific

device.

Configuring the backbone fabric ID

Web Tools automatically disables FC-FC Routing before setting the fabric ID, and then re-enables it

afterwards. However, you must first disable all of the EX_Ports before you begin this operation.

After the fabric ID is changed, you can enable these ports again.

Use the following procedure to configure the backbone fabric ID.

Open the

Switch View

window.

Select

FCR

in the

Manage

section of the

Tasks

menu.

Select the

EX-Ports

tab.

Select all the EX_Ports in the table, and click

Disable
