ABSTRACT:
A method and system for enforcing routing in Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FCAL) switch define a message route for an initiator to initiator message in a FCAL network. The message route is for the initiator to initiator message to traverse each selected switch device in the FCAL network. If the message received is an initiator to initiator message, the system and method force the message that is initiator to initiator message to adapt the defined message route. In this way, the initiator to initiator traffic is forced to traverse identified links in a switched network and can identify issues and problems associated in each of the links.
