Preferred Path
Figure 5-6
The preferred path option allows a user to specify and configure one
or more ISL data paths between multiple directors or fabric switches
in a fabric. At each fabric element, a preferred path consists of a
source port on the director or switch being configured, an exit port on
the director or switch, and the Domain_ID of the destination director
or switch. Each participating director or switch must be configured as
part of a desired path. The following rules apply when configuring a
preferred path:
•
The switch Domain_ID must be set to Insistent.
•
Domain_IDs range between 1 through 31.
•
Source and exit port numbers are limited to the range
of ports available on the director or switch.
•
For each source port, only one path is defined to each
destination Domain_ID.
Refer to the three-director preferred path illustrated in
