Monitoring Fibre Channel router fabrics using proxy IDs
The following figures and their descriptions illustrate how port IDs (PIDs) are assigned in Fibre Channel
router fabrics using proxy IDs. Use the flow --control -deviceidmode pid command to set the mode to
PID mode.
In the following figure, the physical devices are labeled A, B, and C. The proxy devices are the devices
labeled A′, B′, C′, A″, B″, and C″, representing the physical devices A, B, and C, respectively.
FIGURE 5 An FC router fabric
The following figure provides the port ID, fabric ID, and proxy port ID values for the following examples.
FIGURE 6 An FC router fabric annotated with PID, FID, and proxy PID values
NOTE
The proxy port ID values for devices B″ and C″ were not generated for the examples, and so are
marked “xxxxxx” in this figure.
