‐ The Link Cost is equal to the sum of all established/low metric (or currently active) circuits’
MAX rates in the tunnel
‐ Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are configured as VE_Ports, and do not
merge if they are configured as VEX_Ports. If VE_Ports are used in a Fibre Channel
Routing Services backbone fabric configuration, then the backbone fabric merges, but the
EX_Port-attached edge fabrics do not merge. For more information, refer to the Fabric OS
