4. Enter the portCfgExPort command to configure the port as an EX_Port with a different FID
within the McDATA Fabric Mode.
This port can now connect to an M-EOS switch in McDATA Fabric mode or McDATA Open mode.
The following example sets port 10/13 to admin-enabled, assigns a Fabric ID of 37, and sets
the M-EOS connection to McDATA Fabric Mode.
switch:admin_06> portcfgexport 10/13 -a 1 -f 37 -m 2
5. Enable the port by issuing the portEnable command.
switch:admin_06> portenable 10/13
If the port was persistently disabled, use the following command to enable the port:
switch:admin_06> portcfgpersistentenable 10/13
6. Physically attach the IFLs from the FC router to the switches in the edge fabrics.
• Connect IFL1 and verify EX_Port connectivity. Repeat for all Fabric OS fabric IFLs.
• Connect IFL (n) for the M-EOS fabric and verify EX_Port connectivity. Repeat for all M-EOS
fabric IFLs.
7. Log in to the FC router and enter the switchShow command to display the M-EOS switch that is
connected to the FC router EX_Port. The following example illustrates the use of the
switchShow command and its output.
switch:admin_06> switchshow
switchName: b48000_5x_1
switchType: 42.2
switchState: Online
switchMode: Native
switchRole: Principal
