Abstract
A method for routing Fibre Channel frames in a Fibre Channel system is provided. The method compares a cost associated with a pre-programmed preferred route when the pre-programmed preferred route has been pre-programmed to route Fibre Channel frames between a source Fibre Channel port and a destination Fibre Channel port; with a cost of at least one route for routing Fibre channel frames between the source Fibre Channel port and the destination port determined by using a standard Fibre Channel Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) protocol, and using the pre-programmed-preferred route to route Fibre Channel frames if the cost associated with the pre-programmed preferred route is lower than the cost associated with the at least one route determined by the standard Fibre Channel FSPF protocol.
