Enabling broadcast frame forwarding
1. Log in to the FC router as admin.
2. Enter the following command:
fcr:admin> fcrbcastconfig --enable -f fabricID
The fabricID variable is the FID of the edge or backbone fabric on which you want to enable
broadcast frame forwarding. Broadcast frame forwarding is enabled by default.
Disabling broadcast frame forwarding
1. Log in to the FC router as admin.
2. Enter the following command:
fcr:admin> fcrbcastconfig --disable -f fabricID
The fabricID variable is the FID of the edge or backbone fabric on which you want to disable
broadcast frame forwarding.
Resource monitoring
It is possible to exhaust resources, such as proxy PIDs. Whenever a resource is exhausted, Fabric OS
generates an error message. The messages are described in the Fabric OS Message Reference.
You can monitor FC router resources using the fcrResourceShow command. The fcrResourceShow
command shows FC router resource limits and usage and includes the following:
• LSAN zones and LSAN devices -- The information shows the maximum versus the currently used
zones and device database entries. Each proxy or physical device constitutes an entry. If LSAN
zones are defined in two edge fabrics, they are counted as two and not one. One device imported
into multiple edge fabrics counts multiple times.
The default maximum number of LSAN zones is 3,000. Refer to Setting the maximum LSAN count
on page 562 for information on changing this limit.
• Proxy Device Slots -- The physical and proxy devices use the 10,000 device slots.
The information shows the maximum pool size for translate phantom node and port WWNs and
shows the number of translate node and port WWNs from this pool.
• Phantom Node WWNs
• Phantom Port WWNs
• Max proxy devices
• Max NR_Ports
The following example shows the use of the fcrResourceShow command to display physical port
(EX_Port) resources.
