DCB command line interface
The Brocade Data Center Bridging (DCB) CLI is designed to support the management of DCB and
Layer 2 Ethernet switching functionality. The Network OS CLI uses an industry-standard
hierarchical shell familiar to Ethernet/IP networking administrators.
The system starts up with the default Network OS configuration and the DCB startup configuration.
After logging in, you are in the Network OS shell. For information on accessing the DCB commands
from the Network OS shell, see
“Network OS CLI command modes” on page 3.
Saving your configuration changes
Any configuration changes made to the switch are written into the running-config file. This is a
dynamic file that is lost when the switch reboots. During the boot sequence, the switch resets all
configuration settings to the values in the startup-config file.
To make your changes permanent, use the copy command to commit the running-config file to the
startup-config file, as shown below.
Example of committing the running-config in privileged EXEC mode.
switch# copy running-config startup-config
