fcrEnable

Enables the FC Routing service on the switch.

This command is not supported in v5.3.0; instead use fosConfig.

Synopsis fcrenable

Description Use this command to enable the Fibre Channel (FC) Routing service on a switch. In Fabric OS v5.1

the FC Routing service is enabled by default. In Fabric OS v5.2 the FC Routing service is disabled by

default, and this commmand must be executed to enable it. Use fosConfig --show to determine the

default state of the FC Routing service, and then use the appropriate operands to enable or disable

it.

This command can be run while the switch state is "online". If fcrEnable is issued while the switch

is still busy disabling the FC routing feature (for instance, right after a fcrDisable was issued), the

message "FC Routing service is in the process of being disabled, please try again after a few

minutes." will be displayed. If this happens, just wait a few minutes before again issuing fcrEnable.

Use switchShow or fosConfig to display the current state of the FC Routing service.

If issued while the FC Routing service is already enabled, then the message, "FC Routing service is

already enabled" is displayed.

Operands none

Examples To enable the FC Routing service:

fcr:admin> fcrenable

FC Routing service is enabled
