Page 55: Transparent Router
Transparent Router The Transparent Router feature provides inter-fabric routing to enable controlled and limited access between devices on a QLogic fabric and devices on a fabric of Brocade or Cisco switches. Generally, to configure Transparent Router on a QLogic switch: Change the port type of a selected port to TR_Port.
Page 56 2–Managing Fabrics Transparent Router The local QLogic fabric may consist of one or multiple switches connected by their ISLs. A specific device attached to a local switch can be mapped with one or more devices in one remote fabric over only one TR_Port on that switch. If a device attached to a QLogic switch is mapped with multiple devices in the same remote fabric, the same TR_Port must be used.
Page 57: Tr Mapping Manager Dialog Box
2–Managing Fabrics Transparent Router NOTE: Be sure to configure the TR_Port before connecting the remote fabric to the switch. If the remote fabric is connected to a port on the switch that is not a TR_Port, the two fabrics may establish an E_Port connection and the local and remote fabrics may merge.

2–Managing Fabrics Transparent Router Remote Fabric Zoning Dialog Box The Remote Fabric Zoning dialog box (Figure 2-6) enables you to generate and save a text file containing the zoning commands required to be executed on the remote fabric so that the inter-fabric connection using a TR port is established. The user can choose the kind of remote fabric/switches to connect with the TR port so that Enterprise Fabric Suite knows which zoning commands to generate for the user.
Page 63 2–Managing Fabrics Transparent Router In the Remote Fabric Zoning dialog box (Figure 2-6), if you made and saved changes in the TR Mapping Manager dialog box, you can choose the type of zoning commands to view in the Suggested Remote Fabric Zoning Commands window of the Remote Fabric Zoning dialog box.

6–Managing Ports Using the Extended Credits Wizard  25km at 2Gbps (30÷1.2)  12km at 4Gbps (30÷2.4)  6km at 8Gbps (30÷4.8) Extending credits requires a minimum cable length that is dependent on transmission speed, but is independent of the number of credits borrowed. Extending credits using short cables can cause excessive port resets.
