Fabric management with NETCONF overview
This chapter provides procedures and examples for Brocade VCS Fabric management using the
NETCONF interface. Refer to the Network OS Administrator’s Guide for the following related
information:
• A conceptual overview of concepts related to Brocade VCS Fabric technology, such as the
Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) protocol, routing bridges, neighbor
discovery, trunks, and fabric formation
• How to perform fabric management using the Network OS command line interface
Using the NETCONF interface, you can perform the following fabric configuration operations:
• Use the remote procedure call (RPC) to perform the following operations:
- Enable and disable VCS Fabric mode
- Enable and disable fabric ISL and configure long distance ISL ports
- Enable and disable fabric trunking
- Configure the routing bridge priority for broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast
forwarding
- Configure the VCS Fabric virtual IP address
- Perform ECMP load balancing
• Use the RPC to verify all or part of the VCS Fabric management configuration.
• Use the custom RPC to return configuration state information about the VCS
Fabric.
Brocade VCS Fabric parameters are defined in the brocade-vcs YANG module. Fabric interface
management parameters are defined in the brocade-fabric-service and brocade-fcoe YANG
modules. For structural maps of these YANG modules, refer to the Network OS YANG Reference
Manual. For definitions and explanations of all VCS Fabric management parameters, refer to the
brocade-fabric-service.yang, and brocade-fcoe.yang files.
