Verifying the setup for FC-FC routing
Before configuring a fabric to connect to another fabric, you must perform the following verification
checks on the FC router.
1. Log in to the switch or Backbone as admin and enter the version command. Verify that
Fabric OS v7.0.1 is installed on the FC router as shown in the following example.
switch:admin> version

2. If you are configuring a Backbone, enter the slotShow command to verify that an FX8-24 blade
is present or an 8-Gbps or 16-Gbps port blade is present. The following example shows slots 1,
2, 3, 9, 10, and 12 with 8-Gbps port blades enabled.
