Viewing FSPF routing
The Routing tab of the Switch Administration window displays information about routing paths.
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 31.
2. Click the Routing tab.
3. This step is switch-type specific:
For the Brocade 48000 director and Brocade DCX, click a slot number under the FSPF Route
category in the navigation tree.
For Brocade 200E, 300, 4012, 4016, 4018, 4020, 4024, 4100, 4900, 5000, 5100, 5300,
and 7500 switches, click the FSPF Route category in the navigation tree.
Configuring dynamic load sharing
The exchange-based routing policy depends on the Fabric OS dynamic load sharing feature (DLS)
for dynamic routing path selection. When this policy is in force, DLS is always enabled and cannot
be disabled.
When the port-based policy is in force, you can enable DLS to optimize routing. When DLS is
enabled, it shares traffic among multiple equivalent paths between switches. DLS recomputes load
sharing either when a switch boots up or each time an E_Port or Fx_Port goes online or offline.
Enabling this feature allows a path to be discovered automatically by the FSPF path-selection
protocol.
