fcrProxyDevShow

Displays FC Router proxy device information.

Synopsis fcrproxydevshow [-a][-f fabricid][-w wwn]

Description Use this command to display the proxy devices presented by FC Router EX_Ports and information about the

proxy devices. A proxy device is a virtual device presented in to a fabric by an FC Router. A proxy device

represents a real device on another fabric. When a proxy device is created in a fabric, the real Fibre Channel device

is considered to be imported in to this fabric. The presence of a proxy device is required for inter-fabric device

communication. The proxy device appears to the fabric as a real Fibre Channel device. It has a name server entry

and is assigned a valid port ID.

Proxy device information is available only for proxy devices that are presented by FC Routers on the same

backbone fabric as this FC Router.

The default output displays only proxy device information relevant to this FC Router. Relevant proxy devices

include proxy devices created by this FC Router (devices imported by this FC Router).

The proxy devices are listed by fabric. Search parameters -f and -w allow searching for proxy devices based on

fabric ID or port WWN.

"No proxy device found" is displayed if there is no proxy device information available on this FC Router.

This command displays the following information:

Proxy Created in Fabric
