Devices directly connected to router
In the Multi-protocol Router, end devices are allowed to be directly connected, but these devices cannot be
imported to other edge fabrics (using LSAN zones). During the upgrade process, these devices will face
disruption unless there is redundancy support provided from the device end. 400 MP Router allows the end
devices to be imported to edge fabrics.
To configure the new router:
1.
Log in to the new router as admin.
2.
Enable FCR functionality on the 400 MP Router.
a. On Fabric OS v5.2.x and earlier use the fcrenable command.
b. On Fabric OS v5.3.0 and later use the fosconfig –enable fcr command.
3.
Set respective fabric IDs while configuring each of the EX_Ports using the portcfgexport –f
command.
4.
Verify that the operating mode is native while configuring the EX_Port using the
portcfgexport –m command.
5.
Set the BB Fabric ID using the fcrconfigure command.
6.
Set other fabric parameters using the configure command, if they are not default.
7.
You may choose to manually configure the xlate Domain IDs on the new router, to match with old router
using the fcrxlateconfig command.
8.
You may choose to manually configure the Area and AL_PA portions of the proxy device PID, using the
fcrproxyconfig command.
