Fabric Manager discovery

[Martin Keith]

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how Fabric Manager does its discovery of the SAN fabric and is there a command line equivalent e.g. equivalent to CDP?     I need to make a network map of the switch connectivity if possible?

thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

I usually use ...

For switches with Domain ID's:
show fcs ie   (gives all switches with domain id's in the vsan)
              Loc = Local (this switch)
              Adj = Adjacent (directly connected and in the output of 'show topology')
              Rem = Remote (more than one hop away)

show topology (gives ISLs for E_Ports)

show fcns database | i npv|VSAN (lists npv switches their fcid and VSAN)

show fcns data fcid <fcid> detail vsan x  (lists the switch and interface at the bottom)

For NPV switches:
show npv flogi
The right hand side of the output lists the upstream interfaces

Regards,

David
