Setting up the FC-FC routing service

Verifying the setup for FC-FC routing
Before configuring a fabric to connect to another fabric, you must perform the following verification
checks on the FC router.
1. Log in to the switch or director as admin and enter the version command. Verify that Fabric OS
v7.0.0 is installed on the FC router as shown in the following example.
switch:admin> version
Kernel: 2.6.14.2
Fabric OS: v7.0.0
Made on: Fri Jan 21 01:15:34 2011
Flash: Mon Jan 24 20:53:48 2011
BootProm: 1.0.9
2. Perform the following appropriate action based on the hardware model you are configuring:
• If you are configuring an enterprise-class platform, enter the slotShow command to verify
that either the FR4-18i or FX8-24 blade is present or an 8-Gbps or 16-Gbps port blade, is
present. The following example shows slots 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, and 12 with 8-Gbps port blades
enabled.
switch:admin> slotshow -m
Slot Blade Type ID Model Name Status
--------------------------------------------------
1 SW BLADE 37 FC8-16 ENABLED
2 SW BLADE 37 FC8-16 ENABLED
3 SW BLADE 37 FC8-16 ENABLED
4 SW BLADE 39 FC10-6 ENABLED
5 CORE BLADE 52 CORE8 ENABLED
6 CP BLADE 50 CP8 ENABLED
7 CP BLADE 50 CP8 ENABLED
8 CORE BLADE 52 CORE8 ENABLED
9 SW BLADE 37 FC8-16 ENABLED
10 SW BLADE 55 FC8-32 ENABLED
11 UNKNOWN VACANT
12 SW BLADE 51 FC8-48 ENABLED
See Chapter 3, “Performing Advanced Configuration Tasks,” for a list of blades and their
corresponding IDs.
3. Enter the licenseShow command to verify that the Integrated Routing license is installed.
switch:admin> licenseshow
S9bddb9SQbTAceeC:
Fabric license
bzbzRcbcSc0c0SY:
Remote Fabric license
RyeSzRScycazfT0G:
Integrated Routing license
If the Integrated Routing license is not installed, you must install it, as described in Chapter 18,
“Administering Licensing”.
4. Verify that the Fabric Wide Consistency Policy is not in ‘strict’ mode by issuing the fddCfg
--showall command. When it is in strict mode, ACL cannot support Fibre Channel routing in
the fabric.
switch:admin> fddcfg --showall
