Description
This command displays the proxy devices presented by FCR EX_Ports and information about the proxy
devices.
A proxy device is a virtual device presented to a fabric by an MP Router. A proxy device represents a real
device on another edge fabric. When a proxy device is created in a fabric, the real device is considered
to be imported into this fabric. The presence of a proxy device is required for interfabric device
communication. The fabric sees the proxy device as a real Fibre Channel device. It has a name server
entry and is assigned a valid port ID.
Proxy device information is available only for proxy devices that are presented by MP Routers on the same
backbone fabric as this MP Router.
The default output displays only proxy device information relevant to this MP Router. Relevant proxy
devices include proxy devices created by this MP Router (devices imported by this MP Router).
The proxy devices are listed by fabric. The message No proxy device found is displayed if there is
no proxy device information available at this MP Router.
Each line of output displays the following information:
fcrProxyDevShow
