Fabric OS 5.x administrator guide 103

• Name: The name of the switch.

• Out Port: The output port that the frames use to reach the next hop on this path. For the last hop,

the destination port.

• BW: The bandwidth of the output ISL, in Gbit/sec. It does not apply to the embedded port.

• Cost: The cost of the ISL used by FSPF routing protocol. It applies only to an E_Port.
