Enabling port-based routing

• Manage port connectivity configuration

You do not need to install the FICON CUP license to perform FICON CUP management; you must

install the FICON CUP license, however, if your switch is to enforce traffic between the FICON

director and the host-based management program.

Enabling port-based routing

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 ports 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 remaining FICON implementation.

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

2. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 41.

3. Click the FICON CUP tab.

If the EGM license is not installed on the switches using CUP protocol, access to this feature is

denied and an error message displays. If the EGM license is enabled, the FICON CUP tab is

available.

4. Click Enable in the FICON Management Server Mode section to enable the port-based routing

policy. Click Disable to disable port-based routing.

5. Click Apply to save your changes.
