Opening The Fc Routing Module - Brocade Communications Systems 8 Administrator's Manual

The FC Routing module provides a dynamic display. Any changes in the FCR configuration on the
switch are automatically updated in the FC Routing module within 30 to 90 seconds, depending on
the network traffic.
The switch must be FC Router-capable, as described in
page 149.
The only things you need to configure on the FC Router are the EX_Ports and the backbone fabric
ID. You configure LSAN zones on the fabrics from where devices need to be shared. You can
configure LSAN zones on the backbone fabric to allow edge fabrics to share devices in the
backbone fabric.
You can log in with any role and launch the FC routing module. To modify the data, you must log in
as switchadmin, fabricadmin, basicswitchadmin, or operator. If you log in as user, zoneadmin, or
securityadmin, you can only view the data.
If the FC-FC Routing service is disabled, the LSAN zones, LSAN fabric, and devices tabs continue to
display the existing entries, but display the entries related to the backbone fabric only. All of the
EX_Ports are disabled and you cannot enable them until FC-FC routing is enabled.
