Configuring FSPF Globally
Some FSPF features can be globally configured in each VSAN. By configuring a feature for the entire
VSAN, you do not have to specify the VSAN number for every command. This global configuration
feature also reduces the chance of typing errors or other minor configuration errors.
FSPF is enabled by default. Generally, you do not need to configure these advanced features.
The default for the backbone region is 0 (zero). You do not need to change this setting unless your region

is different from the default. If you are operating with other vendors using the backbone region, you can
change this default to be compatible with those settings.
Managing FSPF General Attributes
To manage FSPF general attributes, perform the following steps:
Step 1
From the Fabric Manager, choose FC > FSPF on the menu tree and click the General tab.
From the Device Manager, choose FC > FSPF and click the General tab.
The Information pane from the Fabric Manager displays information for multiple switches. The dialog
box from the Device Manager displays FSPF information for a single switch.
Configure the FSPF general attributes.
Step 2
Disabling FSPF Routing Protocols
By default, FSPF is enabled on switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family.
Link State Record Defaults
Each time a new switch enters the fabric, a link state record (LSR) is sent to the neighboring switches,
and then flooded throughout the fabric. displays the default settings for switch responses.
