Fabric OS 6.x administrator guide 247
The portCfgExport command has additional options to verify the front Domain ID. The
portCfgExport –d option is changed to enforce use of the same front Domain ID for the EX_Ports
connected to the same edge fabric. The portCfgExport display results remain the same.
For more information about the portCfgExport -d option, see ”portCfgExport options” on page 226
and the command details in the Fabric OS Command Reference.
The following example illustrates the use of the portcfgexport command.

The fabricShow command shows only one front domain per router connection. In the following example
displayed below is from an edge fabric and shows that fcr_fd_3_32
has two EX_Port connections, but
one front Domain ID.

Range of output ports
The edge fabric detects only one front domain from an FC router connected through multiple output ports.
The output port of the front domain is not fixed to 0; the values can be in a range of 129–255. The range
of the output ports connected to the xlate domain is also 129–255. This range enables the front domain to
connect to 127 remote xlate domains.
