DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
Use this procedure to set a non-default, “static” cost for any port.
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described in “Opening the Switch Administration
window” on page 35.
2. Select the Routing tab.
3. This step is switch-specific:
- For the Brocade 48000 and Brocade DCX, enterprise-class platforms, click the slot
number of the logical switch under Link Cost in the navigation tree.
- For Brocade 200E, 300, 4012, 4016, 4018, 4020, 4024, 4100, 4900, 5000, 5100,
5300, 7600 switches, the 7500 and 7500E Extension switches, and the Encryption
Switch, click Link Cost in the navigation tree.
4. Double-click in the row in the Cost column that corresponds to the appropriate port.
5. Enter the link cost. Valid values for link cost are from 1 through 65535. Setting the value to 0
sets the link cost to the default value for that port.
6. Click Apply.
