In the Multi-protocol Router, end devices are allowed to be directly connected, but these devices cannot be
imported to other edge fabrics (using LSAN zones). During the upgrade process, these devices will face
disruption unless there is redundancy support provided from the device end. 400 MP Router allows the end
devices to be imported to edge fabrics.
Configuring a new FC router
To configure the new router:

3.
Set respective fabric IDs while configuring each of the EX_Ports using the portcfgexport –f
command.
4.

portcfgexport –m command.
5.
Set the backbone Fabric ID by issuing the fcrconfigure command.
6.
Set other fabric parameters by issuing the configure command, if they are not default.
