Fabric OS 6.2 administrator guide 545
In the Multi-Protocol Router, end devices are allowed to be directly connected, but these devices cannot be
imported to other edge fabrics (using LSAN zones). During the upgrade process, these devices will face
disruption unless there is redundancy support provided from the device end. 400 MP Router allows the end
devices to be imported to edge fabrics.
Configuring a new FC router
To configure the new router:
1. Log in to the new router as admin.
2. Enable FCR functionality on the 400 MP Router.
a. On Fabric OS 5.2.x and earlier use the fcrenable command.
b. On Fabric OS 5.3.0 and later use the fosconfig –enable fcr command.
3. Set respective fabric IDs while configuring each of the EX_Ports using the portcfgexport –f
command.
4. Verify that the operating mode is native while configuring the EX_Port using the
portcfgexport –m command.
5. Set the backbone Fabric ID by issuing the fcrconfigure command.
6. Set other fabric parameters by issuing the configure command, if they are not default.
7. Manually configure additional values as necessary:
• To match the xlate Domain IDs on the new router with old router, enter the fcrxlateconfig
command.
• To configure the Area and AL_PA portions of the proxy device PID, enter the fcrroxyconfig
command.
