Configuring the link cost for a port
16
When you configure link cost for a Brocade 48000 configured for two logical switches, it is on a
logical-switch basis. This means that for each logical switch, you configure link cost individually.
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 29.
2. Click the Routing tab.
3. This step is switch-specific:
For the Brocade 48000 director and Brocade DCX, click the slot number of the logical switch
under Link Cost in the navigation tree.
For Brocade 200E, 4012, 4016, 4018, 4020, 4024, 4100, 4900, 5000, and 7500 switches,
click Link Cost in the navigation tree.
4. Double-click in the row in the Cost column that corresponds to the appropriate port.
5. Type the link cost.
Valid values for link cost are from 1 through 65535. Setting the value to 0 sets the link cost to
the default value for that port.
6. Click Apply.
