Cisco MDS 9000 Series Configuration Guide

You can disable the FSPF protocol for selected interfaces. By default, FSPF is enabled on all E ports and TE ports. This
default can be disabled by setting the interface as passive.
Clearing FSPF Counters for an Interface
To clear the FSPF statistics counters for an interface, follow this step:
switch# clear fspf counters vsan 200 interface fc1/1
Clears the FSPF statistics counters for the specified interface in VSAN 200.
FSPF Routes
FSPF routes traffic across the fabric, based on entries in the FSPF database. These routes can be learned
dynamically, or configured statically.
This section includes the following topics:
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 Figure 49: Fibre Channel Routes, on page 194).
Figure 49: Fibre Channel Routes
Other than in VSANs, runtime checks are not performed on configured and suspended static routes.
Note
About Broadcast and Multicast Routing
Broadcast and multicast in a Fibre Channel fabric uses the concept of a distribution tree to reach all switches
in the fabric.
