The FC Routing module displays. If FC-FC Routing is disabled, a message to that effect displays on
all the tabs in the module.

Viewing and managing LSAN fabrics

The LSAN Fabric tab displays all the LSAN fabrics visible to your switch, in both a tabular and tree
form. (If FC-FC Routing is disabled, the table and tree nodes in this tab are empty and the tree
displays only the backbone switch.)

For more detailed information about a specific LSAN fabric, click a fabric name in the table and then
click View Details in the task bar. You can also click the fabric name in the tree on the left side of the
window.

When there is more than one router present in the backbone fabric with different backbone Fabric IDs,
the routers with the conflicting IDs are shown in a separate table on the LSAN Fabric tab.

To manage an LSAN fabric, select the fabric to manage and click Manage LSAN Fabric in the task
bar. A browser window is launched with the following URL:

http://ip-address-of-lsan-fabric-switch

For Brocade switches, this launches Web Tools. For non-Brocade fabrics, this launches the Element
Manager for that switch.

Viewing EX_Ports

The EX_Ports tab displays all of the EX-Ports on the switch, including configuration and status
information. The ports are sorted by slot number, and then by row number within each slot. IP address
information is displayed in IPv4 and IPv6 formats.

NOTE
To disable FC Routing, you must disable all EX_Ports and VEX_Ports. You cannot enable these ports
until FC Routing is enabled.

For more detailed information about a specific port, click a port name in the table, and select
Properties from the Actions list. You can also click the port name in the tree on the left side of the
window.

From the EX_Ports tab, you can perform the following port management tasks by selecting a port in
the table, and then clicking a task in the task bar:

• Configure EX_Ports
• Edit an EX_Port configuration
• Rename an EX_Port
Swap the Port Index of an EX_Port (described in

Port swapping index

on page 110)

• Enable or disable an EX_Port
• Persistently enable or disable an EX_Port
• Enable or disable trunking
• Configure router port cost
