The PID mode for the MP Router (the backbone fabric PID mode) and the edge fabric PID mode do not
need to match, but the PID mode for the EX_port and the edge fabric to which it is attached must
match. The various edge fabrics may have different PID modes.
6. Configure each port that connects to a backbone fabric as an E_Port.
7. Assign the backbone fabric ID:
a. Issue the switchDisable command to disable the switch.
b. Issue the fcrConfigure command. At the prompt, enter the fabric ID, or press Enter to specify the
default fabric ID (1). Make sure the fabric ID is different from that set for edge fabrics, and avoid
using fabric IDs 2 through 17, which are the defaults for edge fabrics.
Multiple MP Routers attached to the same backbone fabric must have the same backbone fabric ID.
c. Issue the switchEnable command to enable the switch. For example:
8. Establish LSAN zones; see Chapter 7, “Creating and maintaining zones,” for details.
9. Issue the portStart command to start the ports:
10.Issue the portShow command to verify that each port is configured correctly:
router:admin> switchdisable

router:admin> fcrconfigure

You must run switchenable to return the switch back to online state.
