About Fibre Channel Routes

Each port implements forwarding logic, which forwards frames based on its FC ID. Using the FC ID for the
specified interface and domain, you can configure the specified route (for example, FC ID 111211 and domain
ID 3) in the switch with domain ID 1 (see the following figure).

Configuring Fibre Channel Routes

To configure a Fibre Channel route, perform this task:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. switch# configuration terminal
2. switch(config)#fcroute fcid interface fc slot/port domain domain-id vsan vsan-id
3. switch(config)#fcroute fcid interface san-port-channel port domain domain-id vsan vsan-id
4. switch(config)# fcroute fcid interface fc slot/port domain domain-id metric value vsan vsan-id
5. switch(config)#fcroute fcid interface fc slot/port domain domain-id metric value remote vsan vsan-id
6. switch(config)#fcroute fcid netmask interface fc slot/port domain domain-id vsan vsan-id

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures the route for the specified Fibre Channel interface and
domain. In this example, the specified interface is assigned an FC ID
and a domain ID to the next hop switch.
Configures the route for the specified SAN port channel interface and
domain. In this example, interface san-port-channel 1 is assigned an
FC ID (0x111211) and a domain ID to the next hop switch.
Configures the static route for a specific FC ID and next hop domain
ID and also assigns the cost of the route.
