Displaying the range of output ports connected to xlate domains
The edge fabric detects only one front domain from an FC router connected through multiple output
ports. The output port of the front domain is not fixed to 0; the values can be in a range from 129
through 255. The range of the output ports connected to the xlate domain is from 1 through 128. This
range enables the front domain to connect to 127 remote xlate domains.
1. Log in to a switch in the edge fabric.
2. Enter the lsDbShow command on the edge fabric.
In the lsDbShow output, ports in the range from 129 through 255 are the output ports on the front
domain.
The following example shows the range of output ports.
linkCnt = 2, flags = 0x0
LinkId = 53, out port = 1, rem port = 35, cost = 500, costCnt = 0, type = 1
LinkId = 57, out port = 129, rem port = 18, cost = 500, costCnt = 0, type = 1
The following example also shows the use of the lsDbShow display on the edge fabric. The front
domain, domain 3, has two links representing two EX_Port connections with output ports 129 and
132.
Domain = 3, Link State Database Entry pointer = 0x100bbcc0
.........
linkCnt = 4, flags = 0x0
LinkId = 199, out port = 129, rem port = 2, cost = 10000, costCnt = 0, type = 1
LinkId = 199, out port = 132, rem port = 3, cost = 10000, costCnt = 0, type = 1
LinkId = 2, out port = 1, rem port = 2, cost = 10000, costCnt = 0, type = 1
LinkId = 1, out port = 32, rem port = 2, cost = 10000, costCnt = 0, type = 1
