Switch attributes
A switch can be identified by its IP address, World Wide Name (WWN), switch ID or RBridge ID, or by
its host name and chassis name. You can customize the host name and chassis name with the
switch-attributes command.
• 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 name is VDX 6710, VDX
6720-24, VDX 6720-60, VDX 6730-32, or VDX 6730-76, VDX 8770-4, or VDX 8770-8 depending on
the switch model.
Switch types
The switchType attribute is a unique device model identifier that is displayed when you issue the show
chassis or the show rbridge-id commands. When you are gathering information for your switch
support provider, you may be asked for the Brocade product name. Use the following to convert the
switchType identifier to a Brocade product name.
