Enabling Port-Based Routing on the SilkWorm 4100
and SilkWorm 48000
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 SilkWorm 4100 and 48000 switches 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 rest of the FICON
implementation.
To enable or disable port-based routing
1. Click a switch with FICON devices attached from the Fabric Tree.
2. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 3-3.
3. Click the FICON CUP tab.
The FICON CUP tabbed page displays, with the FICON Management Server subtabbed page in
front, as shown in Figure 18-1.
4. Check the Enable box in the Port Based Routing section to enable the port-based routing policy.
Uncheck this box to disable port-based routing.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
