Chapter 18 Configuring Fibre Channel Routing Services and Protocols
FSPF Routes
You see the FSPF interface statistics in the Information pane.
FSPF Routes
FSPF routes traffic across the fabric, based on entries in the FSPF database. These routes can be learned
dynamically, or configured statically.
This section includes the following topics:
• About Fibre Channel Routes, page 18-11
• Configuring Fibre Channel Routes, page 18-11
About Fibre Channel Routes
Each port implements forwarding logic, which forwards frames based on its FC ID. Using the FC ID for
the specified interface and domain, you can configure the specified route (for example, FC ID 111211
and domain ID 3) in the switch with domain ID 1 (see Figure 18-8).

Configuring Fibre Channel Routes
If you disable FSPF, you can manually configure a Fibre Channel route. To configure a Fibre Channel
route using Device Manager, perform this task:
Step 1 Click FC > Advanced > Routes.
You see the FC Static Route Configuration dialog box as shown in Figure 18-9.
