FSPF Routes
FSPF routes traffic across the fabric, based on entries in the FSPF database. These routes can be learned
dynamically, or configured statically.
About Fibre Channel Routes
Each port implements forwarding logic, which forwards frames based on its FC ID. Using the FC ID for the
specified interface and domain, you can configure the specified route (for example, FC ID 111211 and domain
ID 3) in the switch with domain ID 1 (see the following figure).

Configuring Fibre Channel Routes
To configure a Fibre Channel route, perform this task:
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters configuration mode.switch# configuration terminal
Step 1
Configures the route for the specified Fibre Channel
interface and domain. In this example, the specified
switch(config)#fcroute fcid interface
fc slot/port domain domain-id vsan
vsan-id
Step 2
interface is assigned an FC ID and a domain ID to the
next hop switch.
Configures the route for the specified SAN port channel
interface and domain. In this example, interface
switch(config)#fcroute fcid interface
san-port-channel port domain
domain-id vsan vsan-id
Step 3
san-port-channel 1 is assigned an FC ID (0x111211) and
a domain ID to the next hop switch.
Configures the static route for a specific FC ID and next
hop domain ID and also assigns the cost of the route.
switch(config)# fcroute fcid interface
fc slot/port domain domain-id metric
value vsan vsan-id
Step 4
If the remote destination option is not specified, the
default is direct.
