1. Uplink process:
a. Switch A adds its uplink path information (including its WWN and domain ID) to the STR
request packet and sends the packet to the next hop Switch B. After receiving the packet,
Switch B replies with an STR ACC packet to Switch A.
b. Switch B adds its uplink path information to the received STR packet and sends it to the
destination switch, Switch C. After receiving the packet, Switch C replies with an STR ACC
packet to Switch B.
c. Switch C adds its uplink path information to the received packet, completing the collection of
uplink path information.
2. Downlink process:
a. Switch C sends the STR request packet to Switch A hop by hop in the same way as in the uplink
process.
b. After receiving the STR request packet with a downlink flag, Switch A outputs information
about all uplink and downlink switches.
