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 Configuring the FC Router port cost (optional),
page 243 and for information on trunking setup, see Using EX_Port Frame trunking, page 247.
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> portenable 7/10
4. Enter the portCfgShow command to view ports that are persistently disabled.
