The fabricShow command shows only one front domain per router connection. In the following example
displayed below is from an edge fabric and shows that fcr_fd_3_32 has two EX_Port connections, but
one front Domain ID.

Range of output ports

The edge fabric detects only one front domain from an FC router connected through multiple output ports.
The output port of the front domain is not fixed to 0; the values can be in a range of 129–255. The range
of the output ports connected to the xlate domain is also 129–255. This range enables the front domain to
connect to 127 remote xlate domains.
To display the range of output ports connected to the xlate domains:
1. Log in to the FC router.
2. Issue the lsDbShow command on the edge fabric.
In the lsDbShow output, ports in the range 129-255 are the output ports on the front domain.
The following example shows the range of output ports.
linkCnt = 2,
LinkId =
LinkId =
The following example also shows the use of the lsDbShow display on the edge fabric. The front
domain, domain 3, has two links representing two EX_Port connections with output ports 129 and 132.
Domain = 3, Link State Database Entry pointer = 0x100bbcc0
.........
linkCnt = 4,
LinkId = 199, out port = 129, rem port =
LinkId = 199, out port = 132, rem port =
