Viewing EX_Ports

Viewing and managing LSAN fabrics

The LSAN Fabric tab displays all the LSAN fabrics visible to your switch, in both a tabular and tree

form. (If FC-FC Routing is disabled, the table and tree nodes in this tab are empty and the tree

displays only the backbone switch.)

For more detailed information about a specific LSAN fabric, click a fabric name in the table and

then click View Details in the task bar. You can also click the fabric name in the tree on the left side

of the window.

When there is more than one router present in the backbone fabric with different backbone Fabric

IDs, the routers with the conflicting IDs are shown in a separate table on the LSAN Fabric tab.

To manage an LSAN fabric, select the fabric to manage and click Manage LSAN Fabric in the task

bar. A browser window is launched with the following URL:

http://ip-address-of-lsan-fabric-switch

For Brocade switches, this launches Web Tools. For non-Brocade fabrics, this launches the Element

Manager for that switch.

Viewing EX_Ports

The EX_Ports tab displays all of the EX_Ports on the switch, including configuration and status

information. The ports are sorted by slot number, and then by row number within each slot. IP

address information is displayed in IPv4 and IPv6 formats.

NOTE

To disable FC Routing, you must disable all Ex/Vex ports. You cannot enable these ports until FC

Routing is enabled.

For more detailed information about a specific port, click a port name in the table, and then click

View Details in the task bar. You can also click the port name in the tree on the left side of the

window.

From the EX_Ports tab, you can perform the following port management tasks by selecting a port in

the table, and then clicking a task in the task bar:

• Configure EX_Ports

• Edit an EX_Ports configuration

• Rename an EX_Port

• Swap the Port Index of an EX_Port (described in “Port swapping index” on page 90)

• Enable or disable an EX_Port

• Persistently enable or disable an EX_Port

• Enable or disable trunking

• Configure router port cost

ATTENTION

During EX_Port configuration, the port is automatically disabled, and then re-enabled 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.
