Changing the Router’s Loop ID

If the router is installed on an FC loop, you can change the router’s Loop ID to meet your
needs. You have two options for setting the Loop ID:

!

SOFT—Use this setting if you do not care if the router’s Loop ID changes when you
power down and power up. This setting lets the FC loop initialization process
determine the Loop ID.

!

Any number between 0 and 125—Select a specific number if you want the Loop ID to
stay the same after you power down and power up. The Router Administrator software
cannot tell you which Loop IDs are available. To be sure that you have successfully
assigned the Loop ID you want, check the Loop ID after you reboot the router. If the
router cannot get the specified Loop ID during the loop initialization process, it will
try to get a soft address.

Note: If you change the topology, Loop ID, or router LUN, you must
reboot the router for the change to take effect. See
