5. Enable the port by issuing the portEnable command.
switch>:admin_06> portenable 10/13
If the port was persistently disabled, use the following command to enable the port:
switch:admin_06> portcfgpersistentenable 10/13
• Connect IFL1 and verify EX_PORT connectivity. Repeat for all Brocade fabric IFLs.
• Connect IFL (n) for the M-EOS fabric and verify EX_PORT connectivity. Repeat for all M-EOS fabric
IFLs.
6. Log in to the FC router and issue the switchShow command to display the M-Series switch that is
connected to the FC router EX_Port. The following example illustrates the use of the switchShow
command and its output.

7. You can now physically attach your ISLs from the 400 MP Router and 4/256 SAN Director or DC
Director with an FR4-18i blade to the switches.
ISLs apply only to Brocade switches that are not connected as an edge fabric (IFLs). When an M-Series
switch is present, it is assumed that you are creating an edge fabric.
