DESCRIPTION Use this command to create a logical switch and to modify logical switch configurations.
The logical switch feature provides the ability to partition a single physical switch into multiple switch
instances. Each of these switch partitions is referred to as a logical switch (LS). The logical switch feature
allows you to configure multiple logical fabrics on top of a base (physical) fabric. Each logical fabric is
made up of logical switches that share the physical resources of the base fabric, for example, interswitch
link (ISL) connectivity. At the same time, protocol and management isolation of each logical fabric is
maintained, and each logical fabric can scale independently.
The Default Logical Switch is created by the system and cannot be deleted. All switch ports not explicitly
assigned to a logical switch are part of the default logical switch.
The Virtual Fabric (VF) feature must be enabled on the switch before you can configure a logical switch.
Use the fosconfig --enable vf command to enable the feature. Use the fosconfig --show command to
determine whether the VF feature is enabled or disabled on the switch.
NOTES The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
Not all commands that support the -force option will prompt for user input when used without the -force
option.
OPERANDS This command has the following operands:
--create
Creates a logical switch instance. The following operands are supported.
FID
Specifies the Fabric ID. Each logical switch in a chassis is assigned a unique
fabric identifier. The FID address space is shared between logical switches and
EX_Ports. Valid FID values are integers between 1 and 128. The default logical
switch is assigned FID 128 by default. This operand is required.
