Changing the RBridge ID
If you are going to have more than one switch in a fabric, each switch must have a unique RBridge
ID. The default RBridge ID for any Brocade VDX 8770-4 is 1. Use the vcs rbridge-id [rbridge-id]
command to change the default RBridge ID. You should be in privileged EXEC mode to run the
command.
Enter the vcs rbridge-id [rbridge-id] command.
switch# vcs rbridge-id 2
This operation will change the configuration to default and reboot the switch.
Do you want to continue? [y/n]:y
When the confirmation question appears, answer Y.
The reply to command will include a line about the setting of the RBridge ID.
Successfully set rbridge-id.
Assigning permanent passwords
The factory-configured default accounts on the switch are admin and user. Use the default
administrative account as shown in
Table 8 to log in to the switch for the first time and to perform
the basic configuration tasks. The user account is read-only and used primarily for system
monitoring.
