Configuring An Explicit Path - Cisco DS-C9216I-K9 Configuration Manual

Chapter 30 Monitoring Network Traffic Using SPAN
Configuring the SD Port
The SD port in the destination switch enables the FC Analyzer to receive the RSPAN traffic from the
Fibre Channel tunnel. depicts a RSPAN tunnel configuration, now that tunnel destination is also
configured.

Configuring An Explicit Path

You can specify an explicit path through the Cisco MDS Fibre channel fabric (source-based routing), use
the explicit-path option. For example, if you have multiple paths to a tunnel destination, you can use
this option to specify the fc-tunnel to always take one path to the destination switch. The software then
use this specified path even if other paths are available.
