If your configuration has only one backbone fabric, then you do not need to assign a backbone fabric ID because the backbone fabric ID in this situation defaults to a value of 128. The default backbone fabric ID is 1 if Virtual Fabrics is disabled.
All switches in a backbone fabric must have the same backbone fabric ID. You can configure the backbone fabric ID using the fcrConfigure command. The backbone fabric ID must be unique from the perspective of every attached edge fabric. Fabric ID changes made on a switch are not propagated to other switches in the backbone fabric. The backbone fabric administrator is responsible for making sure that all switches in the backbone have the same fabric ID. Because fabric IDs are used heavily by the routing protocol between the Fibre Channel routers, using the wrong fabric ID can affect both edge-to-edge and backbone-to-edge routing.
In addition to ensuring that the backbone fabric IDs are the same within the same backbone, you must make sure that when two different backbones are connected to the same edge fabric, the backbone fabric IDs are different, but the edge fabric ID should be the same. Configuration of two backbones with the same backbone fabric ID that are connected to the same edge is invalid. In this configuration, a RASLog message displays a warning about fabric ID overlap. When two backbone fabrics are not connected to the same edge, they can have the same backbone fabric ID.
ATTENTION
In a multi-switch backbone fabric, modification of the FID within the backbone fabric will cause disruption to local traffic.
