Displaying logical switch configuration
Use the following procedure to display the configuration for a logical switch:
1. Connect to the physical chassis and log in using an account with the chassis-role permission.
2. Enter the lsCfg --show -n command to display information about all of the logical switches.
3. Enter the lsCfg --show command to display a list of all logical switches and the ports assigned to
them.

Changing the fabric ID of a logical switch
The fabric ID indicates in which fabric the logical switch participates. By changing the fabric ID, you are
moving the logical switch from one fabric to another.
Changing the fabric ID (FID) requires permission for chassis management operations. You cannot
change the FID of your own logical switch context.
NOTE
If you are in the context of the logical switch with the fabric ID you want to change, you are
automatically logged out when the fabric ID changes. To avoid being logged out, make sure you are in
the context of a different logical switch from the one with the fabric ID you are changing.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the lsCfg command to change the fabric ID of a logical switch:
lscfg --change fabricID -newfid newFID
