Exchange-based routing policy is the default. Exchange-based routing policy always employs "dynamic path selection," in which the software chooses a path based on current traffic conditions. See the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for more information. To optimize port-based routing, the dynamic load sharing feature (DLS) can be enabled to balance the load across the available output ports within a domain. Exchange-based routing requires the use of DLS; when this policy is in effect, you cannot disable the DLS feature. Use the Routing tab of the Switch Administration window to view and modify routing information. Figure 93 on page 194 shows the Routing tab. Web Tools Administrator's Guide 193 53-1000606-01
