7. Issue the switchShow command to verify the EX_Port (or VEX_Port), edge fabric ID, and name of the
edge fabric switch (containing the E_Port or VE_Port).
8. Issue the fcrFabricShow command to view any edge fabric's switch names and ensure links are
working as expected:
NOTE: The fcrFabricShow command displays the static IPv6 addresses for each FC router and each
edge fabric switch connected to the EX_Ports.

Configuring the FC router port cost

FC routers optimize the usage of the router port links by directing traffic to the link with the smallest router
port cost. The FC router port cost is similar to the link cost setting available on E_Ports, which allows you to
customize traffic flow. The router port link cost values are either 1000 or 10,000. The router module
chooses the router port path based on the lowest cost per FID connection. If multiple paths exist where one
path costs lower than the others, the lowest cost path is used. If exchange-based routing has not been
disabled and multiple paths exist with the same lowest cost, there will be load sharing over these paths.
Implementing the router port cost feature optimizes the usage of the router port links by directing the traffic
to a link with a smaller cost. For example, if there are EX_ and VEX_Port connections to the same edge
fabric, the traffic will be directed through the EX_Port link.
