Description
Use this command to display logical fabric configuration information, to determine the status of
logical interswitch links (LISLs), to enable LISLs between logical switches, and to display
information about the XISLs and LISLs associated with each XISL.
A logical switch is a partition created on a physical switch that shares the physical resources of the
base fabric while functioning as an independent entity in a "virtual" logical fabric. The logical fabric
sits on top of a base physical fabric and ties otherwise disconnected logical switches together to
share the same connectivity and physical resources. At the same time, the logical fabric provides
protocol and management isolation, and each logical fabric is independently scalable.
The display options provided with this command show the logical fabric configuration for a given
logical switch context or for a chassis context. Each logical switch displays only the user ports that
are configured to be part of that switch instance. The switch context is defined by the fabric ID. The
default context is the base logical switch that you are placed in upon login. The default logical
switch context is defined by the fabric ID 128. To change the context, use the setContext command.
When issued with the -cfg option, this command displays the following information:
Chassis

Chassis WWN

For each logical switch, the following information is displayed:

Numeric identifier for the logical switch within the chassis.
Base switch
Yes or No. This field indicates whether or not this logical switch is the base
switch.
Fabric Id
The logical switch fabric ID (FID).
State
The state of the logical switch: Online or Offline.
Switch WWN
The logical switch world wide name.
When issued with the -lisl option, the command displays the following information:
FID
Fabric ID of the logical switch.
Port
Number of the logical LISL port.
remote-domain
Domain ID of the base switch in the remote chassis.
Name Switch
