Assigning A Static Route; Removing A Static Route; Frame Order Delivery - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

Instead, you can use the traffic isolation feature to create a dedicated path for interswitch traffic. See
"Traffic Isolation

Assigning a static route

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the uRouteConfig command.
urouteconfig in_area domain out_area
where:
in_area
domain
out_area
If the out_area port is associated with a valid minimum-cost path, all frames coming in from the
in_area port addressed to domain are forwarded through the out_area port. If the out_area port is
not associated with such a path, the routing assignment is not immediately affected by this command.
However, the static route is remembered so that it can be enforced if this port becomes part of a valid
path in the future.
See the Fabric OS Command Reference for more details on the uRouteConfig command.

Removing a static route

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
Enter the uRouteRemove command.
2.
urouteremove in_area domain
where:
in_area
domain
See the Fabric OS Command Reference for more details on the uRouteRemove command.

Frame order delivery

The order of delivery of frames is maintained within a switch and determined by the routing policy in effect.
The frame delivery behaviors for each routing policy are:
• Port-based routing
All frames received on an incoming port destined for a destination domain are guaranteed to exit the
switch in the same order in which they were received.
• Exchange-based routing
All frames received on an incoming port for a given exchange are guaranteed to exit the switch in the
same order in which they were received. Because different paths are chosen for different exchanges,
this policy does not maintain the order of frames across exchanges.
NOTE: If even one switch in the fabric delivers out-of-order exchanges, exchanges are delivered to the
target out-of-order, regardless of the policy configured on other switches in the fabric.
IMPORTANT:
