Transparent Router
The Transparent Router feature provides inter-fabric routing to enable controlled
and limited access between devices on a QLogic fabric and devices on a fabric of
Brocade or Cisco switches.
Generally, to configure Transparent Router on a QLogic switch:
1. Change the port type of a selected port to TR_Port.
2. Map local (QLogic) and remote (e.g., Brocade/Cisco) fabric devices across
the TR_port.
3. Copy/paste the zoning commands automatically generated (by TR Mapping
Manager) into the remote fabric management application.
NOTE:
Enterprise Fabric Suite may not support all firmware versions. If the version
of Enterprise Fabric Suite is not supported, a warning status message
appears: FW/GUI mismatch. A switch with this status is still manageable, but
some functions may not be available. For firmware compatibility information,
see the Enterprise Fabric Suite Release Notes.
