2013/04/25-21:21:55, [FCR-1071], 29808, SLOT 4 | FID 2, INFO, Pluto, Port 6/23 is changed from non
FCR port to FCR port.
4. (
Optional
) Configure FC router port cost if you want to change the default values. For information about using FC router port
cost operations, refer to FC router port cost configuration on page 511.
5. Enter the portEnable command to enable the QSFP ports that you disabled in step 1.
switch:admin> portenable 6/20-23
6. Enter either the portCfgEXPort or portShow command to verify that each port is configured correctly.
switch:admin> portcfgexport 6/20

9. Enter the fcrIclPathBwMonitor command to monitor and report path bandwidth imbalances for each edge fabric.
The following example enables the monitoring and reporting of bandwidth balances and imbalances, and displays the ICL path
bandwidth state for each fabric:
switch:admin> fcriclpathbwmonitor --show
ICL Path Bandwidth state :Disabled
switch:admin> fcriclpathbwmonitor --enable
ICL bandwidth balance functionality is enabled
Pluto:FID2:root> fcriclpathbwmonitor --show
ICL Path Bandwidth state :Enabled

FC router port cost configuration
FC routers optimize the usage of the router port links by directing traffic to the link with the smallest router port cost.
The FC router port cost is similar to the link cost setting available on E_Ports, which allows you to customize traffic flow. The router port
link cost values are either 0, 1,000, or 10,000. The router module chooses the router port path based on the lowest cost for each FID
