Enabling port-based routing
18
DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
You do not need to install the FICON CUP license to perform FICON CUP management; you must
install the FICON CUP license, however, if your switch is to enforce traffic between the FICON
director and the host-based management program.
Enabling port-based routing
Port-based path selection is a routing policy in which paths are chosen based on ingress port and
destination only. This also includes user-configured paths. All ports with FICON devices attached
must have port-based routing policy enabled. Port-based routing is a per-switch routing policy. After
port-based routing is enabled, you can continue with the remaining FICON implementation.
Use the following procedure to enable port-based routing.
1. Select a switch with FICON devices attached from the Fabric Tree.
2. Open the Switch Administration window as described in “Opening the Switch Administration
window” on page 35.
3. Click the FICON CUP tab.
If the EGM license is not installed on the switches using CUP protocol, access to this feature is
denied and an error message displays. If the EGM license is enabled, the FICON CUP tab is
available.
4. Click Enable in the FICON Management Server Mode section to enable the port-based routing
policy, or click Disable to disable port-based routing.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
Enabling or disabling FICON Management Server mode
FICON Management Server (FMS) is used to support switch management using CUP. To be able to
use the CUP functionality, all switches in the fabric must have FICON Management Server mode
(FMS mode) enabled. FMS mode is a per-switch setting. After FMS mode is enabled, you can
activate a CUP license without restarting the director. You can use Web Tools to install a CUP
license. For more information on installing licenses, refer to Activating a license on a switch” on
page 47.
When FMS mode is disabled, mainframe management applications, director consoles, or alternate
managers cannot communicate with a director with CUP. In addition, when FMS mode is disabled
on a director, you cannot configure CUP attributes.
Use the following procedure to enable or disable FICON Management Server.
1. Select a FICON CUP-capable switch from the Fabric Tree.
2. Open the Switch Administration window as described in “Opening the Switch Administration
window” on page 35.
3. Click Show Advanced Mode.
4. Select the FICON CUP tab.
The FICON CUP tabbed page displays the FICON Management Server page. All attributes on
this tab are disabled until FMS mode is enabled.
