Setting and displaying the chassis name
1. In privileged EXEC mode, issue the configure terminal command to enter global configuration
mode.
2. Enter the switch-attributes command, followed by a question mark (?) to determine the local
RBridge ID.
3. Enter the switch-attributes command, followed by the RBridge ID.
4. Enter the chassis-name operand, followed by the chassis name.
5. Save the configuration changes using the do copy running-config startup-config command.
NOTE
This step is used for switches in standalone mode or fabric cluster mode only. If you are using
logical chassis cluster mode, startup configurations are not maintained by the cluster; each node
preserves its running configuration. For more information about logical chassis cluster mode, refer
to
Logical chassis cluster mode on page 55.
switch# configure terminal
Entering configuration mode terminal
switch(config)# switch-attributes ?
Possible completions: Specify the rbridge-id 1
switch(config)# switch-attributes 1
switch(config-switch-attributes-1# chassis-name lab1_vdx0023
switch(config)# do copy running-config startup-config
switch(config)# do show running-config switch-attributes 1
switch-attributes 1
chassis-name lab1_vdx0023
host-name lab1_vdx0023
Viewing switch types
The switchType attribute is a unique device model identifier that allows you to identify the model of a
switch from the command line.
In this example, the number 1000 is the value of the switchType attribute. An optional number (.x)
indicates the revision of the motherboard.
Refer also to Switch types on page 54.
Enter show chassis.
switch# show chassis
Chassis Family: VDX 87xx
Chassis Backplane Revision: 1
switchType: 1000 <== Use table to convert this parameter

Configuring a switch in logical chassis cluster mode
Refer to Logical chassis cluster mode on page 55.
Creating a logical chassis cluster
This section covers the basic steps to create a logical chassis cluster, with the assumption that all
physical connectivity requirements have been met. The following is a representation of a five-node
logical chassis cluster.
