Configuring Fibre Channel Routing Services and Protocols
FSPF Routes
FSPF routes traffic across the fabric, based on entries in the FSPF database. These routes can be learned
dynamically, or configured statically.
About Fibre Channel Routes
Each port implements forwarding logic, which forwards frames based on its FC ID. Using the FC ID for the
specified interface and domain, you can configure the specified route (for example, FC ID 111211 and domain
ID 3) in the switch with domain ID 1 (see the following figure).

switch(config)#fcroute fcid interface
san-port-channel port domain
domain-id vsan vsan-id
switch(config)# fcroute fcid interface
fc slot/port domain domain-id metric
value vsan vsan-id
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures the route for the specified Fibre Channel
interface and domain. In this example, the specified
interface is assigned an FC ID and a domain ID to the
next hop switch.
Configures the route for the specified SAN port channel
interface and domain. In this example, interface
san-port-channel 1 is assigned an FC ID (0x111211) and
a domain ID to the next hop switch.
Configures the static route for a specific FC ID and next
hop domain ID and also assigns the cost of the route.
If the remote destination option is not specified, the
default is direct.
