ports in the table, and then click one of the enable or disable tasks in the task bar.
You can select multiple ports in the table, but you can select only one port at a time in the tree.
Figure 11-4 FC Routing Module with EX_Ports Tab Selected
To configure an EX_Port
1. Launch the FC Routing module (click the FCR button).
2. Click the EX_Ports tab.
3. Click New in the task bar to configure one or more EX_Ports.
This launches the port configuration wizard, which guides you through the port configuration
process.
4. Follow the instructions in the wizard to configure the EX_Port.
You will need to specify the Fabric ID and, if configuring an FC port, the speed and long distance
mode. You can choose any unique fabric ID as long as it is consistent for all EX_Ports that connect
to the same edge fabric.

During EX_Port configuration, the port is automatically disable, and then reenabled when the changes
are applied. Be sure that you do not physically connect a port to a remote fabric before configuring it as
an EX_Port; otherwise, the two fabrics merge and you lose the benefit of Fibre Channel routing.
