Launching FCR configuration

Use FCR Configuration to launch the FC Routing module, which enables you to share devices

between fabrics without merging the fabrics. You can open the FC Routing module directly from the

Management application. For more information about FC Routing, refer to the Brocade Web Tools

Administrator’s Guide.

The FCR Configuration option is available only for the following devices with Fabric OS 5.0 or later:

• Fabric OS extension switch

• Fabric OS Directors configured with an extension blade

• Fabric OS 1U, 40-port, 8 Gbps FC Switch (with Integrated Routing license)

• Fabric OS 2U, 80-port, 8 Gbps FC Switch (with Integrated Routing license)

• Fabric OS directors configured with a FC 8 GB 16-port Blade (with Integrated Routing license)

• Fabric OS directors configured with a FC 8 GB 32-port Blade (with Integrated Routing license)

• Fabric OS directors configured with a FC 8 GB 48-port Blade (with Integrated Routing license)

Note that on the FC 8 GB 48-port Blade, the Shared Area ports, for example, 16-47, cannot be

configured as EX_ports

NOTE

You must have Element Manager - Product Administration privileges for the selected device to

launch Web Tools. If you do not have Element Manager - Product Administration privileges, you will

need to enter those credentials to launch Web Tools.

On the Connectivity Map, right-click the Fabric OS device you want to configure and select Element

Manager > Router Admin.

1. Select a Fabric OS device.

2. Select Configure > Element Manager > Router Admin.

The FC Routing module displays.

NOTE

When you close the Management application client, any Web Tools instance lauched from the

clients closes as well.
