About the Routing Tab
Use the Routing Tab of the Administrative Interface to perform tasks such as:
■ View the Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) routing information.
■ Add or delete a static route.
■ Set the link cost for the selected ports.
Note: If a switch has one or more ISLs attached to itself, and no attached devices, the
Routing tab will not display any information.
Navigation Tree
The Routing tab contains a Routing Navigation Tree, from which you can access
the specific routing areas. Fields will change depending on the routing interface
you have chosen to view. For information regarding using the Routing Tab, see
“
Using the Routing Tab ” on page 139.
Dynamic Load Sharing
Dynamic Load Sharing (DLS) can be enabled using the Routing tab. DLS refers to
a dynamic distribution of traffic over available paths. Enabling this feature allows
a path to be discovered automatically by the FSPF path selection protocol. See
“
Routing (FSPF Route) Field Descriptions ” on page 133.
In-Order Delivery
In-Order Delivery (IOD) can be enabled using the Routing tab. Enabling IOD
guarantees that frames are either delivered in order or dropped.
