Description Use this command to configure the Brocade VCS Fabric parameters (VCS ID and the switch
RBridge ID) and to enable either of the two types of Brocade VCS fabric modes: fabric cluster mode
or logical chassis cluster mode. You can set the Brocade VCS Fabric parameters and enable one of
the VCS modes at the same time, or you can enable one of the VCS modes and then perform the
ID assignments separately.
Usage Guidelines Each time you change the Brocade VCS Fabric configuration, the switch resets to the default
configuration and reboots automatically. Make sure to save the configuration before you issue any
of the commands shown in the "Synopsis" section above.
You can use the no form of this command as follows:
• To transition a switch from either fabric cluster mode or logical chassis cluster mode back to
standalone mode, run the command: no vcs enable
• To transition a switch from logical chassis cluster mode back to fabric cluster mode, run the
command: no logical-chassis enable
