Setting up the FC-FC routing service
23
Use the fcrXlateConfig command to display or assign a preferred domain ID to a translate domain
or, in some scenarios, to prevent the creation of an unnecessary xlate domain. See the Fabric OS
Command Reference for more details about this command.
Identifying and deleting stale xlate domains
If a remote edge fabric goes unreachable, the xlate domains created in other edge fabrics for this
remote edge fabric is retained and not removed unless there is any disruption in the local edge
fabric.
You can use the fcrXlateConfig command to identify and remove these stale xlate domains without
disruption the fabric.
1. Connect to the FC router and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the fcrXlateConfig
--show command to identify any stale xlate domains.
3. Enter the fcrXlateConfig
--del command to delete the stale xlate domains.
Example
sw0:root> fcrxlateconfig --show stalexd
Imported FID Stale XD Owner Domain
--------------------------------------------------
012 002 007 ( this FCR )
sw0:root> fcrxlateconfig --del stalexd 12 2
Xlate domain 2 is deleted
Setting up the FC-FC routing service
To set up the FC-FC Routing Service, perform the following tasks in the order listed:
• Verify that you have the proper setup for FC-FC routing. (See “Verifying the setup for FC-FC
routing” on page 471.)
• Assign backbone fabric IDs. (See “Backbone fabric IDs” on page 472.)
• Configure FCIP tunnels if you are connecting Fibre Channel SANs over IP-based networks. (See
“FCIP tunnel configuration” on page 473.)
• Configure IFLs for edge and backbone fabric connection. (See “Inter-fabric link configuration”
on page 473.)
• Modify port cost for EX_Ports, if you want to change from the default settings. (See “FC Router
port cost configuration” on page 477.)
• Configure trunking on EX_Ports that are connected to the same edge fabric. (See “EX_Port
frame trunking configuration” on page 480.)
• Configure LSAN zones to enable communication between devices in different fabrics. (See
“LSAN zone configuration” on page 480.)
See Chapter 3, “Performing Advanced Configuration Tasks,” for more details about configuration
options for Brocade directors.
