Configuring the backbone fabric ID
Web Tools automatically disables FC-FC Routing before setting the fabric ID. You should manually
enable FCR after setting backbone FID. However, you must first disable all of the EX-Ports before
you begin this operation. After the fabric ID is changed, you must re-enable these ports.
NOTE
When the Virtual Fabrics capability is enabled on the switch, Fabric ID cannot be set using the Set
Fabric ID button.
To configure the backbone fabric ID, perform the following steps.
1. Select Configure > FCR.
2. Select the EX-Ports tab.
3. Select all the EX-Ports in the table, and click Disable.
4. Select the General tab.
5. Click Set Fabric ID in the task bar.
The Configure Backbone Fabric ID window displays.
6. Select a fabric ID from the drop-down menu.
NOTE
The fabric ID is a number from 1 through 128. Web Tools warns you if you select a fabric ID that
is already in use.
7. Click OK.
8. Click Enable FCR in the task bar.
9. Select all the EX-Ports in the table, and click Enable.
