Routing policies

CAUTION
Setting the routing policy is disruptive to the fabric because it requires that you disable the switch
where the routing policy is being changed.
Setting the routing policy
Use the following procedure to set the routing policy:
1. Connect to the VF switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the setcontext command for the correct Fabric ID or switch name.
- The fabricID parameter is the FID of the logical switch you just created.
- The switchname parameter is the name assigned to the logical switch.
- You can only use one parameter at a time.
switch:admin> setcontext 20
3. Enter the switchDisable command to disable the switch.
4. Take the appropriate following action based on the AP route policy you choose to implement:
• If the exchange-based policy is required, enter the aptPolicy 3 command.
• If the port-based policy is required, enter the aptPolicy 1 command.
Setting up the AP route policy
The AP route policy can only be set in the base switches that are using Virtual Fabrics.
Use the following procedure to set the AP route policy:
1. Connect to the base switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the switchDisable command to disable the switch.
3. Take the appropriate following action based on the AP route policy you choose to implement:
• If the AP Shared Link policy (default) is required, enter the aptPolicy -ap 0 command.
• If the AP Dedicated Link policy is required, enter the aptPolicy -ap 1 command.
