Changing the RBridge ID

RBridge ID for any Brocade VDX 8770-4 is 1. Use the vcs rbridge-id [rbridge-id] command to change the default
RBridge ID. You should be in privileged EXEC mode to run the command.
Enter the vcs rbridge-id [rbridge-id] command.

This operation will change the configuration to default and reboot the switch. Do you want to
