-d Preferred domain ID (1-239). This command enforces the use of the same preferred domain ID for all the ports connected to the same edge fabric. When this option is specified, the preferred domain ID is compared against the online ports. If the domain ID are different, an error message is issued and the command fails. When the -d option is not specified, if there are online ports connected to the same edge fabric, the preferred domain ID is set to the preferred domain ID of those online ports. Otherwise, if there are offline ports that are set to EX-Port, the preferred domain ID is set to those offline ports. If none of the above conditions apply, the existing value is left untouched. -p PID format (0-native, 1-core, 2-extended-edge). The value must match the edge fabric setting. The default value is 1. -t Negotiate fabric parameters (1-enable, 2-disable) -m Sets the port mode. (0-Brocade, 1-Open, 2-McDATA Fabric, 3-McDATA Fabric Legacy). This command enforces the use of the same port mode for all the ports connected to the same edge fabric. When this option is specified, the port mode is compared against the online ports. If the modes are different, an error message is issued and the command fails. When the -m option is not specified: If there are online ports connected to the same edge fabric, the mode is set to the mode of those online ports. Otherwise, if there are offline ports that are set to EX_Port, the mode is set to those offline ports. If none of the above conditions apply, the existing value is left untouched. For related FC-FC Routing commands, see fcrxlateconfig, fcrconfigure, and fcrproxyconfig in the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual. A Fibre Channel router can interconnect multiple fabrics. EX_Ports or VEX_Ports attached to more than one edge fabric must configure a different fabric ID for each edge fabric. At this point you have some options to consider before proceeding to the next step. These options include FCR router port cost operations and setting up either ISL or EX_Port trunking. For information about using FCR Router Port Cost operations, see "FC router port cost (optional)" on page -219 and for information on trunking setup, see "Using EX_Port Frame trunking" on page -223. 3. Enter the portEnable command to enable the ports that you disabled in step 2. You can now physically attach ISLs from the Fibre Channel Router to the edge fabric. switch:admin_06> portenable 7/10 4.
