FCIP/FCR
Once the switch (SW7500) is configured, the switchShow command displays 32 Fibre Channel ports (port numbers 0 through 31) and 2 GbE ports.
The first 16 Fibre Channel ports are physical ports on the SilkWorm 7500, Ports 16-23 are virtual ports associated with the GE0

7500, Ports 16-23 are virtual ports associated with the GE0 physical GbE link and ports 24-31 are virtual ports associated with GE1 physical GbE link. The GbE ports are displayed as ge0 and ge1 and are not assigned port numbers or area numbers.
FCIP/FCR
NOTE: Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are configured as VE_Ports, and do not merge if they are configured as VEX_Ports.
If VE_Ports are used in a Fibre Channel Routing Services backbone fabric configuration, then the backbone fabric merges but the EX_Port attached to edge fabrics do not merge.

the EX_Port attached to edge fabrics do not merge.
FCIP/FCR
NOTE: The port types for FCIP tunneling are either VE_Port or VEX_Port. An FCIP tunnel using VE_Ports will merge the two fabrics.
An FCIP tunnel using a VEX_Port will not merge the fabrics.
A VEX_Port can connect only to a VE_Port.
The IP encapsulation of the Fibre Channel frame on one port and

The IP encapsulation of the Fibre Channel frame on one port and the reconstruction of Fibre Channel frames on the other port is transparent to the initiator and target.
FCIP/FCR
NOTE: If using FCIP in your FC-FC Routing configuration, you must first configure FCIP tunnels.
Once a tunnel is created, it defaults to a disabled state. Then configure the VE_Port or VEX_Port. After the appropriate ports are configured, enable the tunnel.

All rights reserved.55
Configure LSANS AND ZONING
Create a zone with the same members (e.g., HBA in fabric A, storage port in fabric B) coded with the PWWN of the device.
The zone must use the naming convention “LSAN_ZONENAME” or “lsan_zonename” Note that the name of the zone to the right of the underscore character can be anything you want, as long as the above convention is used.
® 2007 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
All rights reserved.56
It is administratively easier if the zone name is the same in each edge fabric, though this is not required as long as the members of the zone are identical.
Configure LSANS AND ZONING
An LSAN consists of zones in two or more edge or backbone fabrics that contain the same device(s).
LSANs essentially provide selective device connectivity between fabrics without forcing you to merge those fabrics. The SilkWorm 7500, 48000 with a FR4-18i blade, and AP7420 Multiprotocol Router provide
multiple mechanisms for you to manage interfabric device connectivity
® 2007 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
All rights reserved.57
multiple mechanisms for you to manage interfabric device connectivity through extensions to existing switch management interfaces. You can define and manage LSANs using Brocade Advanced Zoning or Brocade Fabric Manager.
Zones are locally defined. Names and memberships, with the exception of hosts and targets exported from one fabric to another, do not need to be coordinated with other fabrics.
Configure LSANS AND ZONING
Zones that contain hosts and targets that are shared between the two fabrics need to be explicitly coordinated. Although an LSAN is managed using the same tools as any other zone on the edge fabric, two behaviors distinguish an LSAN from a conventional zone:
• A required naming convention. The name of an LSAN begins with the prefix “LSAN_”. The LSAN name is letter case insensitive; for example, lsan_ is equivalent to LSAN_, Lsan_, and so on.
® 2007 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
All rights reserved.58
lsan_ is equivalent to LSAN_, Lsan_, and so on.
• Members must be identified by their port WWN because PIDs are not necessarily unique across fabrics. The names of the zones need not be explicitly the same, and membership lists of the zones need not be in the same order.
Configure LSANS AND ZONING
NOTE:
If you are managing other switches in a fabric, it is recommended that you run the defZone –show command on your Fabric OS v5.1.0 switches as a precaution. Default zoning behavior in Fabric OS v5.1.0
operates differently compared to other Fabric OS versions (for example, versions 2.x, 3.x 4.x and 5.0.1). For example, if you issue the defZone --
® 2007 Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
All rights reserved.59
versions 2.x, 3.x 4.x and 5.0.1). For example, if you issue the defZone --noaccess command on a Fabric OS v5.1.0 switch, then default zoning configurations will be created on each switch in the fabric (v2.x, v3.x, v4.x or v5.0.1 switches). Fabric OS v5.1.0 switches do not indicate that a default configuration is enabled when you use the cfgShow or cfgActvShow commands.
