Viewing the LSAN zone binding matrixes

1. Log on to the FC router as admin.

2. Enter the following command to view the FC router matrix:

fcrlsanmatrix --fabricview -fcr

3. Enter the following command to view the LSAN fabric matrix:

fcrlsanmatrix --fabricview -lsan

Example

FCR:Admin> fcrlsanmatrix --fabricview -fcr

Proxy PID configuration

When an FC router is first configured, the PIDs for the proxy devices are automatically assigned.
Proxy PIDs (as well as phantom domain IDs) persist across reboots.

The most common situation in which you would set a proxy PID is when you replace a switch. If you
replace the switch and want to continue using the old PID assignments, you can configure it to do
so; this value remains in the system even if the blade is replaced. To minimize disruption to the
edge fabrics, set the proxy PIDs to the same values used with the old hardware.

The fcrProxyConfig command displays or sets the persistent configuration of proxy devices. Used
with the -s slot option, it can also influence the assignment of the xlate domain port number (which
is used to determine the Area_ID field of the PID) and the Port_ID field. Like the PIDs in a fabric, a
proxy PID must be unique. If the slot argument results in a duplicate PID, it will be ignored. Proxy
PIDs are automatically assigned to devices imported into a fabric, starting at f001. For Proxy IDs
projected to an M-EOS edge fabric in McDATA fabric mode, use valid ALPAs (lower 8 bits).

Use the fcrXlateConfig command to display or assign a preferred domain ID to a translate domain.

Fabric parameter considerations

By default, EX_Ports and VEX_Ports detect, autonegotiate, and configure the fabric parameters
without user intervention.

You can optionally configure these parameters manually.
