Switch attributes
3
• A host name can be from 1 through 30 characters long. It must begin with a letter, and can
contain letters, numbers, and underscore characters. The default host name is “sw0.” The
host name is displayed at the system prompt.
• Brocade recommends that you customize the chassis name for each platform. Some system
logs identify the switch by its chassis name; if you assign a meaningful chassis name, logs are
more useful. A chassis name can be from 1 through 30 characters long, must begin with a
letter, and can contain letters, numbers, and underscore characters. The default chassis
names are:
- VDX8770-4
- VDX8770-8
- VDX6710
- VDX6720-24
- VDX6720-60
- VDX6730-32
- VDX6730-76
- VDX6740-48
- VDX6740-64
- VDX6740T-48
- VDX6740T-64
- VDX6740T-1G
Setting host attributes
To set the host attributes, perform the following steps.
1. Issue the RPC to configure the node in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ras namespace.
2. Under the node, include the node.
3. Under the node, include the following leaf elements.
a. In the element, identify the switch for which you want to set attributes.
b. In the element, specify a name for the host.
c. In the element, specify a name of the chassis.
4. Issue the custom RPC in the urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ras
namespace to save the configuration changes made in the running-config file to the
startup-config file.
The following example names the host and the chassis for routing bridge 27.
