ACL entries that are installed for control and data traffic use statically reserved CAM entries. Dynamic ACL space allocation
is not supported.
The switch supports zoning configurations like the F port mode. Configure the same zoning configurations on all switches in
the fabric to avoid the Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) being lost, during topology changes.
Configure multiswitch fabric (E Port)
This section describes the procedure to configure multiswitch fabric (E Port).
Configuration notes
When two different fabrics join and when both fabrics have the same domain ID configured, the reconfigure fabric (RCF)
operation occurs as the domain ID overlaps.
The RCF operation results in traffic disruptions and after the RCF operation, each switch in the fabric gets a unique domain
ID from the principal switch.
During the merge of conflicting domain IDs, the switch may perform an additional RCF to stabilize when the switch name
server entries exceed 700.
It is recommended to not merge fabrics with conflicting preferred domain IDs.
During a switch reboot, with conflicting preferred domain IDs, the switches first assign itself a configured domain ID.
When the E Port links of the switch comes up, the RCF operation occurs again as the domain ID overlaps.
The following example shows a simple multiswitch setup that includes switch-1 and switch-2 with default configurations:
To enable the multiswitch mode, you must first disable the current mode. Configure switch-1 and switch-2 to configure the
multiswitch fabric.
Switch-1 configuration
1. Enable the multiswitch feature globally.
OS10(config)# feature fc multi-switch
2. Create a vFabric VLAN.
OS10(config)# interface vlan 1001
3. Create vFabric.
OS10(config)# vfabric 1
OS10(conf-vfabric-1)#
NOTE:
The recommended configuration is to configure the same VLAN and fcmap values on all the switches. vFabric ID
is of local significance, and hence the vFabric can have different values on different switches.
4. Create a port group.
OS10(config)# port-group 1/1/1
OS10(conf-pg-1/1/1)# no mode
OS10(conf-pg-1/1/1)# mode FC 8g-4x
