Enabling port-based routing on the Brocade 4100, 5000, and 48000

Port-based path selection is a routing policy in which paths are chosen based on ingress port and

destination only. This also includes user-configured paths. All Brocade 4100, 5000, and 48000

switches with FICON devices attached must have port-based routing policy enabled. Port-based

routing is a per-switch routing policy. After port-based routing is enabled, you can continue with the

rest of the FICON implementation.

1. Click a switch with FICON devices attached from the Fabric Tree.

2. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 29.

3. Click the FICON CUP tab.

The FICON CUP tab appears, as shown in Figure 107.

4. Click the Enable radio button in the FICON Management Server Mode section to enable the

port-based routing policy. Click the Disable radio button to disable port-based routing.

5. Click Apply to save your changes.
