2. If you are configuring a Backbone, enter the slotShow command to verify that either the
FR4-18i or FX8-24 blade is present or an 8-Gbps or 16-Gbps port blade is present. The
following example shows slots 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, and 12 with 8-Gbps port blades enabled.
switch:admin> slotshow -m
Slot Blade Type ID Model Name Status
--------------------------------------------------
1 SW BLADE 37 FC8-16 ENABLED
2 SW BLADE 37 FC8-16 ENABLED
3 SW BLADE 37 FC8-16 ENABLED
4 SW BLADE 39 FC10-6 ENABLED
5 CORE BLADE 52 CORE8 ENABLED
6 CP BLADE 50 CP8 ENABLED
7 CP BLADE 50 CP8 ENABLED
8 CORE BLADE 52 CORE8 ENABLED
9 SW BLADE 37 FC8-16 ENABLED
10 SW BLADE 55 FC8-32 ENABLED
11 UNKNOWN VACANT
12 SW BLADE 51 FC8-48 ENABLED
Refer to Chapter 3, “Performing Advanced Configuration Tasks,” for a list of blades and their
corresponding IDs.
3. Enter the licenseShow command to verify that the Integrated Routing license is installed.
switch:admin> licenseshow
S9bddb9SQbTAceeC:
Fabric license
bzbzRcbcSc0c0SY:
Remote Fabric license
RyeSzRScycazfT0G:
Integrated Routing license
If you are connecting to a Fabric OS or M-EOS fabric and the Integrated Routing license is not
installed, you must install it, as described in Chapter 18, “Administering Licensing”. The
Integrated Routing license is not required if you are connecting to a Brocade Network OS fabric.
4. Verify that the Fabric-Wide Consistency Policy is not in “strict” mode by issuing the fddCfg
--
showall command. When it is in strict mode, ACL cannot support Fibre Channel routing in
the fabric.
switch:admin> fddcfg --showall
Local Switch Configuration for all Databases:-
DATABASE - Accept/Reject
---------------------------------------
SCC - accept
DCC - accept
PWD - accept
Fabric-Wide Consistency Policy :- "SCC:S;DCC"
If the Fabric-Wide Consistency Policy has the letter “S” in it in the edge fabric or the backbone
fabric, do not connect the edge fabric to the FC router. The letter “S” (shown in the preceding
sample output) indicates the policy is strict. The fabric-wide policy must be tolerant before you
can connect fabrics to the FC router. Refer to Chapter 7, “Configuring Security Policies” for
information about configuring the fabric-wide consistency policy.
5. For 8-Gbps platforms, delete fabric mode Top Talker monitors, if they are configured. Refer to
“Deleting all fabric mode Top Talker monitors” on page 415 for instructions.
