Fabric configurations for interconnectivity A
6. Connect to the switch and configure the connection to capture console output.
7. Enter the supportShow (or supportSave if available) command, and save the output.
8. If the fabric does not appear:
a. Disable the EX_Port on the connected fabric.
b. Enter the portLogClear command for the port.
c. Enable the port on the FC router.
d. Enter the portLogDump command for the port, capturing the output.
Use the portLogDump tool to troubleshoot the problem, using the command output.
If an EX_Port connecting an FC router and an edge fabric is disabled due to an error, the error
causing that port's most recent disabled state appears in the switchShow command output.
This error appears until that port comes back online, even after the cables have been
detached from the port.
To remove the error listing in the switchShow output, reboot the FC router. An example of the
type of error displayed is ‘Incompatible port mode’.

Completing the configuration

After you prepare the M-EOS switch and the FC router for use, complete the configuration using the
following procedure.
1. Physically connect the EX_Port that you configured for the Fabric OS switch to the FC router.
2. Log in to the Fabric OS switch as an admin.
3. Physically connect the configured FC router EX_Port to the M-EOS switch, and issue the
switchShow command on the Brocade FC router.
New domains should be visible for each IFL (front domain) that connects the Fabric OS switch
to the FC router and one domain for the translate domain.
4. Start DCFM and select the fabric for the M-EOS switch.
5. View the fabric topology.
New domains should be visible for each FC router connected to the M-EOS switch. Multiple
connections from the same FC router appear as only a single domain. New domains also
appear for every translate domain that was created to import a remote device.
In DCFM, the M-EOS switch should appear green. Tab to Zone and verify that the zone set
configuration is correct: a blue icon beside each entry indicates that the devices are logged in
to the fabric.
6. Log in to the Fabric OS edge fabric switch and enter the nsAllShow or the nsCamShow
command.
